Abstract:
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.
