A finite model property for RMImin

It is proved that the variety of relevant disjunction lattices has the finite embeddability property. It follows that Avron's relevance logic RMI _min has a strong form of the finite model property, so it has a solvable deducibility problem. This strengthens Avron's result that RMI _min is decidable.

Representable idempotent commutative residuated lattices

It is proved that the variety of representable idempotent commutative residuated lattices is locally finite. The -generated subdirectly irreducible algebras in this variety are shown to have at most elements each. A constructive characterization of the subdirectly irreducible algebras is provided, with some applications. The main result implies that every finitely based extension of positive relevance logic containing the mingle and Gödel-Dummett axioms has a solvable deducibility problem.
