Complemented congruences on Ockham algebras

An Ockham algebra that satisfies the identity is called a K_{n, m}-algebra. Generalizing some results obtained in [2], J. Varlet and T. Blyth, in [3, Chapter 8], study congruences on K_{1, 1}-algebras. In particular, they describe the complement (when it exists) of a principal congruence and characterize these congruences that are complemented. In this paper we study the same question for K_{n, m}-algebras. Received March 24, 2005; accepted in final form April 28, 2005.
