PREFACE

The first system o f many-valued logic was introduced by J. Lukasiewicz in 1920. Independently, E. Post created in 1921 an n-valued propositional calculus distinct from that o f Lukasiewicz.

The development of various systems of logic has always been accompanied by t h e development o f their algebraic counterpart (the associated Lindenbaum-Tarski algebras). In many cases the interest for the purely algebraic aspects has become preponderant and t h e corresponding domain has got the status o f a chapter of algebra having an intrinsic interest. This is precisely t h e case o f Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras. Gr.C. Moisil introduced in 1940 the 3-valued and 4-valued Lukasiewicz algebras, w i t h a view to obtain the algebraic counterpart of the corresponding logics of Lukasiewicz, and in 1941 the n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras. Then Moisil developed the theory o f Lukasiewicz algebras f r o m an algebraic point o f view. He generalized the Stone representation theorem for Boolean algebras t o the case of Lukasiewicz algebras and studied the axled algebras and the centered algebras, which have remarkable properties. Then followed a standstill of almost two decades. After 1960, when Moisil found applications of Lukasiewicz algebras to the study o f electric circuits, there was a new advance o f the theory from t h e algebraic point of view as well. A n important role has been played by t h e Bahia-Blanca school created by A. Monteiro. Another line of research concerns the relationships w i t h pseudocomplemented lattices. New results were obtained by Moisil himself, who

also directed to this field t h e interest o f some of his pupils. T h e membership to a fuzzy set (in t h e sense of L. Zadeh) is an example

of an infinitely-valued proposition and Moisil found i n this example t h e motivation he had looked for in order t o legitimate t h e introduction and study

of infinitely-valued Lukasiewicz algebras. So in 1968 Moisil defined t h e 29-

valued Lukasiewicz algebras, where 29 is the order type o f a chain. Then these algebras became the subject of several doctoral theses a t t h e University of Bucharest, written by pupils o f Moisil. Whereas the 3-valued and 4-valued Lukasiewicz algebras are actually the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebras associated w i t h t h e 3-valued and 4-valued Lukasiewicz logics, respectively, it was noticed by A. Rose t h a t this does not hold for n

25

because the Lukasiewicz implication cannot be defined in terms

of disjunction, conjunction, negation and endomorphisms i n n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras, n 2 5 . Using a Gentzen-like technique, Moisil constructed

a propositional calculus for which the corresponding Lindenbaum-Tarski algebras are precisely t h e n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras. O n t h e other hand,

R. Cignoli proved in 1969 t h a t t h e centered n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras (introduced by Moisil in 1941 for n = 3,4) coincide w i t h t h e n-valued Post algebras, introduced by P. Rosenbloom in 1942 as the algebraic counterpart o f t h e n-valued Post logics. Finally t h e relationship between Lukasiewicz logics and Moisil logics was clarified in 1980-1984 by Cignoli, who introduced t h e proper n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras and proved t h a t they are the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebras associated w i t h the Lukasiewicz logics. All these facts establish t h e relative position o f the Lukasiewicz, Post and Moisil logics as various models o f many-valued logics. T h e above sketched picture can be summarized by saying t h a t while the Lukasiewicz algebras originate in and have close connections w i t h the Lukasiewicz logics, these algebras were created by Moisil and the lot of research which led them to t h e position of being one of the important classes of lattices in algebraic logic, is due t o Moisil and his followers. T h a t is why we feel t h a t these algebras should be more properly called Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras (as a matter o f fact, t h e name “Moisil algebras” has been already suggested in the literature). This monograph is devoted mainly, b u t not exclusively, to t h e algebraic side o f the theory of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras, presented i n Chapters

3-

8 and classified as indicated by the very titles of these chapters. Aspects pertinent to logic and applications t o switching theory are treated i n Chapter

9 and t h e Appendix, respectively, while the first t w o chapters establish all

We have aimed at a detailed presentation, with full proofs; some of them are new, without explicit mention of this fact. Objective limitations of space and time have obliged us t o select certain papers for a more attentive presentation, while others have been only summarized in a few words. We apologize for t h e inherent subjectivity of such a selection and for possible involuntary omissions. Topics such as Post algebras, pseudocomplemented lattices and Stone algebras, Lukasiewicz logics, partially studied in our book due t o their connections with Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras, would deserve separate monographs. The posthumous paper A. Monteiro [1980] may be viewed as a monograph on symmetric Heyting algebras.

The main statements of this book, no matter of their nature, are numbered in the form n.p, which means the p-th statement of section n; they are referred t o in this form within each chapter and in the form m.n.p for statements belonging t o another chapter m. The same rule applies t o the num be rs of for m uI as . We express our deep gratitude t o Peter L. Hammer, who encouraged us t o write this book and accepted it for publication in the series Annals of Discrete Mathematics; t o Roberto Cignoli, Gabriel Ciobanu, Luiza lturrioz and Jules Varlet, who provided us with reprints of their works or copies of other papers; t o our colleague Afrodita lorgulescu, who provided us with technical aid and whose results have raised t h e quality of this book; t o Olga Vitu and Anita Klooster for their careful and competent typing.

We owe our formation as mathematicians and the subject of this book to our much beloved teacher, GRIGORE C. MOISIL.

CHAPTER 1 LATTICES, UNIVERSAL ALGEBRA AND CATEGORIES

The first t w o chapters of this book establish all prerequisites necessary

to t h e study of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras. Most important is the latticetheoretical background, presented w i t h full proofs: $1deals w i t h lattices i n general, $$2,4 are devoted to the classes of lattices relevant t o our theme, while the theory of filters, ideals and congruences and t h e representation theory i n terms o f topological dualities are treated in $3 and in Chapter 2, respectively. T h e other tools, provided by universal algebra and category theory, are dealt w i t h in t h e last t w o sections of this chapter.

$1. Posets and lattices The main topics treated in this section are: lattices as partially ordered sets and as algebraic systems, morphisms, sublattices, closure operators, the

this can be done without risk of confusion. A similar convention

will apply t o the operations and constants dealt with in this book.

Also, a completely-masimal f i l t e r is defined as a maximal element of t h e family of all proper complete filters. For example every finite filter is complete, every proper principal filter is complete but not

that the converse implications do not hold in general. The reader is urged t o specify the results of this section t o the corresponding m-concepts.

The following result will be needed in Chapters 7 and 9.

54 $5. Universal algebra

In this section we sketch those ,dndamental concepts of universal algebra t h a t will be used in t h e remainder of this book. For a complete introduction see e.g.

Cohn [1965] or Pierce [1968]; for an encyclopedic treatment the

reader is referred t o Gratzer [1968]; cf.

also Burris and Sankappanavar

[1981]. T h e basic concepts and results presented below are abstractions o f similar concepts and results encountered i n various “concrete” fields of algebra such as group theory, module theory, lattice theory etc.

5.1. Definition. If A is a set, n E nV and f : A” + A , we say t h a t f is an n - a r y operation on A . We also say t h a t n is the arity o f f . It is convenient t o distinguish between constant operations of a r i t y n

>0

(i.e. f(xl, ...,s,) = a for some a

E A and all x l , ...,x, E A ) and operations of a r i t y zero (i.e. f : A’ = 0 + A or simply f E A w i t h no arguments).

5.2. Defin ition. A type of algebras is a map r : A + nV where A is a non-empty set. A n algebra of type r or simply a r-algebra is a pair

A is a set and each f~ is an operation of arity .(A) o n A . W e refer to fx(A E A) as the basic operations of the algebra. T h e same notation A is often used for the underlying set A of A and t h e algebra A itself. If r is a f i n i t e type, i.e. t h e set A is finite, say A = {l,..,m}, then r can be

where

, ~(rn)). represented by the vector ( r ( l ) ..., T h u s e.g. a lattice (L, A, V) is an algebra of type (2,2), a group (G, -,- l , e )

is an algebra of type (2,1,0) etc.

5.4. Remark.

A subalgebra S of a 7-algebra (5.1) is itself a 7-algebra with respect t o the restrictions of th e basic operations fA of A t o t h e elements of S. Note for example that a subsemilattice of a semilattice

( L ,A) (6. Defi-

nition 1.33) is a subalgebra of ( L , A ) in the sense of Definition 5.3; similar remarks hold for the concepts of sublattice, 0-1-sublattice, De Morgan subalgebra, Boolean subalgebra and monadic subalgebra introduced in Definitions 1.33, 2.24 and 4.7.See also Remark 1.34 and Example 2.25. 5.5. Definition.

X of an algebra A we denote by X t h e intersection of all subalgebras of A that include X and we call X the subalgebra generated b y X. For every subset

The justification of the above definition originates in the obvious fact that the subalgebras of an algebra A form a Moore family of the complete lattice P ( A ) ;cf. Example 1.13 and Definition 1.14. In view of Remark 1.15, the map which sends every subset X C A to

X

is a closure operator and X

is the least subalgebra including X . We give below an intrinsic characteri-

zation of the elements of

R.

5.6. Definition.

Let ( A , { ~ A } A ~ Abe ) a .r-algebra, X C A and a E A . By a f o r m a t i v e cons t r u c t i o n of length n , of the element a from the elements of X w e mean a finite sequence a l , ...,a , of elements of A such that a, = a and for each

(a) ai

E X, or


56

(b) there exist X E A and

kl,

...,k , ( ~ < ) i such that

ai = fx(xkl,

...,~ k , ( ~ ) ) .

5.7. Proposition. The subalgebra X generated b y a subset X of an algebra A coincides with the set of all elements of A having a formative construction from the elements of X .

Y be the set of all elements having a formative construction. Then X s Y because every x E X is a formative construction o f length 1. The set Y is a subalgebra of A because, for each X E A, if q ,...,xc,(x)E Y Proof. Let

then we can concatenate the formative constructions of these elements and

add a t the end the element y = fx(xl, ...,x.(~)) obtaining in this way a new formative construction, therefore y E that

is a subalgebra such

S follows easily by induction on t h e length of a

formative construction of an arbitrary element y E

if x E X then x E S;

(ii) if

...,z,(x) E S then fx(z1, ...,z,p)) E S (VX E A);

(iii) every element of S is obtained b y applying rules (i) and (ii)finitely many times. Proof. This is a paraphrase of Proposition 5.7: rules (i) and (ii) state that

the elements of the formative constructions belong to S while rule (iii) says t h a t every element of S has a formative construction.

X such that

We mark this fact by writing z = ~ ( 2 1..., , 2,).

The various concepts introduced in Definitions 1.20, 1.21, 1.27, 2.19 and 2.22 are particular cases of the universal-algebra concepts in Definition 5.14. Also, it will be tacitly assumed that the homomorphisms (isomorphisms, endomorphisms, automorphisms) corresponding t o the various classes of algebras to be studied in this book are given by Definition 5.14 applied t o the types of those algebras. 5.15. Remark. Several well-known properties of homomorphisms are easily transferred from various “concrete” fields of algebra t o the above general concepts. Thus e.g. the identity map 1~ is an automorphism. The composite of two homomorphisms (isomorphisms) is a homomorphism (an isomorphism). The relation

Many important classes of algebras, e.g. semigroups, groups viewed as algebras of type (2,1,0), lattices, Boolean algebras a.s.o., are defined by systems of identities; such a system of axioms can be viewed as establishing an equivalence of the form (5.11) so that the corresponding classes of algebras are equational in the sense of Definition 5.28. 5.29.

The remainder of this section is based on the following remark. Roughly speaking, t h e object of universal algebra is the study of the general concept of algebra, while other fields of algebra deal with “more concrete” algebraic structures, like groups, rings, modules, lattices etc. Note however that there may be several ways of thinking of a “classical” algebraic structure as a .r-algebra; thus e.g. a group can be viewed not only as an algebra of type

67

Universal algebra

(2.1,O) but also as an algebra (G,.) of type (2). We are going t o concentrate a bit more on this point.

5.31. Definition.

Let (A,{f,}xE~) be a 7-algebra and X a non-empty set. The set AAX=

At this point note that when we study a specific algebraic structure we are in fact interested i n its polynomials rather t h a n in t h e choice of t h e basic operations. Thus e.g., no matter whether an Abelian group is viewed as an algebra of type (2,1,0) or of type (2), i ts polynomials are t h e operations of the form p ( t l , ...,zn) = t y ...22,where al,...,a, E

In this example th e basic operation of type (2) is one of t h e basic operations of type (2,1,0), b u t this feature is irrelevant, as it is missing in the next example. It is well known th a t every Boolean algebra becomes an idempotent (i.e., x 2 = t for all

Let us set this point i n t o a

Lattices, universal algebra and categories Now we can present a construction which is a sufficient condition for the

equivalence of two equational classes o f finite types. 5.40. Remark. Let

IV

be a finite type and

X

a non-empty set. Every

w E P ( X ) has a formative construction which uses (some of) t h e symbols Fl,...,F,; we indicate this by writing w = w(Fl,..., Fm).Further let ( A ,{ f i } + ~ ) be a T-algebra. Inasmuch as'is a homomorphism, it follows easily by algebraic induction that the polynomial G has a formative construction which uses fi, ..., f, in t h e same way as the construction of

Fl,...,F, have been used in

w ;we indicate this fact (which can be given an obvious

technical definition) by writing G = G(f1,

The converse of Theorem 1.25 does not hold. Take e.g. the endomorphisms c p 1 , . . . , ( ~ ~ - of 3 an (n - 2)-valued Moisil algebra L and define 'pi = 'pl, ~ p : = (Pi-1

Then L is made into an n-valued Moisil algebra whose endomorphisms are not distinct. 1.27. Proposition.

The e n d o m o r p h i ~ m sof a generalized Moisil (pre-)algebra are distinct if and only if the f u n c t i o n d satisfying (1.24.1) is unique. Proof. Suppose the endomorphisms ( P ~ ..., , Q

of- L~ are not distinct. Then

k < h. Define d l i = d2i = di for i E {1,...,n - 1) - { d k } , d l d k = k and d z d k = Ic + 1. Then it is easily (pk = (Pk+l

checked that both dl and dz verify (1.24.1). Conversely, suppose (PI, ...,pn-l are distinct and let d' be any function satisfying (1.24.1). Then L is a generalized n-valued LM-(pre-)algebra with negation with respect t o d', hence it i s an n-valued Moisil (pre-)algebra by Theorem 1.25, therefore d'i = n - i ( i = 1, ..., n - 1) by Theorem 1.18. 0

We already know by Theorem 1.16 that certain 8-valued LM-algebras cannot be made into d-valued LM-algebras with negation. For d = n we can say even more: there are n-valued LM-algebras t h a t cannot be made into generalized n-valued Moisil algebras. (Take e.g. L4 and L3 viewed as fourvalued LM-algebras, construct componentwise the fou r-val ued LM-algebra

L4 x L3 and note that its endomorphisms are distinct because so are the endomorphisms of L4.If L 4 x Ls could be made into a four-valued generalized Moisil algebra, this would be a four-valued M-algebra by Theorem 1.25; but L4 x L3 has 12 elements in contradiction with Corollary 6.1.19, which implies that every M4-algebra is a direct product of copies of Lz and/or L4. It is important t o note that in view of Proposition 1.24 a large part of t he theory of LM-algebras with negation remains valid for generalized

LM-algebras with negation because, as can be easily seen, in many proofs the fact that d is a decreasing involution is used only through the weaker

properties (1.48) and (1.49). On the other hand Theorem 1.25 shows t h a t there is not much point in this generalization, because the new algebras are obtained from th e old ones by duplicating certain endomorphisms, which does not seem too exciting. That is why we have decided t o work within the framework of Definitions 1.1, 1.8 and 1.17.

We also mention a generalization introduced by Suchoti [1974b] = [1975a], namely a kind of rn x n-valued algebras in which the endomorphisms form an m x n matrix. The main result is a representation theorem according t o which the elements of such an algbra L can be viewed as ( m - 1) x (n - 1) matrices whose rows and columns are increasing vectors with components in

the Boolean algebra C ( L ) ;this generalizes Theorem 6.1.8.

We conclude this section with a few words about homomorphisms and subalgebras. 1.28. Gefiiition.

If L and L’ are d-valued LM-(pre-)algebras, a bounded-lattice homomorphism f : L -+ L’ is said t o be an LMS-homomorphism provided it satisfies (1.50)

f((Pi4= (P:f(z)

(1.51)

.f(P;z) =

Zf(z)

(Vi E I> ? (Vi E

I) .

We denote by LMd the category of d-valued LM-algebras and LMdhomomorphisms. In particular LMn is th e category of n-valued LM-algebras. 1.29. Remark.

It follows from (1.3) and Remark 1.2.21 that conditions (1.50) and (1.51) are in fact equivalent for a bounded-lattice homomorphism, so that in practice

it suffices t o check only one of them. Note also that every LMd-homomorphism h between two LMS-algebras with negation preserves negation, because for every i E I ,

cp:h(Nz) = h(cp:Nz) = h(N&z) = h(cpbiz) =

-

= y&ih(z)= "cp&,h(z) = cpiN'h(z) .

1.30. Notation. We denote by LMNd the full subcategory o f LMd having as objects the d-valued LM-algebras with negation. In particular the category LMNn will be denoted simply by Mn. 1.31. Remark. In view of Remarks 1.2.20 and 1.29, the following three steps suffice t o prove that

f

is an LMN1S-homomorphism:

(a)

f

preserves A or V;

(b)

f

preserves N , 0 and 1;

(c)

f

satisfies (1.50) or (1.51).

It is easy t o see that the concept of LMNd-homomorphism is actually stronger than the previous typesof homomorphisms. Take e.g. defined by

f

:

L4

+ L4

f(0) = f(1) = 0 and f(2) = f(3) = 3. Then f is a De Morgan

homomorphism but f(cp,2) = 0 whereas cplf(2) = 3. However, for n = 3 we have: 1.32. Proposition (Cignoli [1979]).

The D e Morgan homomorphisms between 3-valued M o i s i l algebras c o i n cide with the M3-homomorphisms.

1.34. Definition. An LMNd-subalgebra or simply a subalgebra of a d-valued LM-(pre-)algebra with negation L is a De Morgan subalgebra S of L fulfilling (1.53) and (1.54). 1.35. Remark.

It follows from (1.23) that conditions (1.53) and (1.54) in Definition 1.34 are in fact equivalent for a De Morgan subalgebra of L , so that in practice it suffices to check only one of them. On the other hand, if L is an algebra with negation, an LMhubalgebra of L (more exactly, of the negation-free part of L ) need not be an LMNd-subalgebra of L : take e.g. the subset s = {0,1,3} of L4 = {0,1,2,3}. 1.36. Remark. In the remainder of this book we shall suppose that the set J has both least

element 0 and greatest element 1.

$2. Axiomatics of &valued and n-valued algebras In this and th e subsequent section we present alternative systems of axioms that have been suggested for various types of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras. The main result of this section is Theorem 2.4: the class of Moisil n-algebras is equational. For various systems of axioms in lattice theory see Rudeanu [1963].

We begin with th e remark that numerous equivalent variants of Definition 1.1of 8-(pre-)algebras are obtained by substituting in turn various explicit systems of axioms of bounded distributive lattices for the condensed axiom

(1.1) and similarly, replacing axiom (1.22) by various explicit definitions of

De Morgan algebras yields equivalent variants of Definition 1.8 of d-(pre)algebras with negation. Another point is that in the case of 9-algebras axiom (1.2) from Definition 1.1can be relaxed by requiring that cp; be just lattice endomorphisms, which suffices t o ensure that cpi0 = 0 and cpil = 1. For we can prove

I x I cplx

cpoz CpiO

as in Remark 1.9, hence

= (picpo0 = yo0 = 0 via (1.4) and

'pi1

900 5 0 i.e. cpoO = 0, therefore = 1 by duality.

A stronger result holds for 9-algebras with negation: 2.1. Proposition (Cignoli [1969a]).

The following system of axioms defines 9-algebras with negation: (1.4)-

(1.6), (1.22)-(1.24)

(2.2)

and for every x , y E L:

C~;Z A C p i ~= 0

(Vi E I )

.

Proof. Necessity is trivial. To prove sufficiency we compute first

Axiomatics of &valued and n-valued algebras

125

so that (pi are lattice endomorphisms, hence (pi0 = 0 and (pi1 = 1 as re-

marked above, i.e. (1.2) holds. To prove (1.3) we use the fact that (2.2) can be written (pix

(pix

A N(pix = 0 by (1.23), hence N y i x V (pix = 1, that is

v cp;x = 1.

The next problem is t o prove that the classes of n-valued LM-algebras and M-algebras are equational. We begin with an explicit statement of an informal remark made in the previous section. 2.2. Remark. (a) The class of 6-pre-algebras is equational, because axiom (1.5) can be replaced by the set of identities (pix A (p,y = (pix for every i , j E I with

i<j. (b) The class of 6-pre-algebras with negation corresponding t o a fixed decreasing involution d is equational, because axiom (1.24) reduces t o the identity (1.24.1).

The next two results are due t o Cignoli [1969a] and Boicescu (19841. 2.3. Proposit ion. In every n-pre-algebra L, the determination principle (1.6) is equivalent t o each of the following conditions: f o r every x , y E L,

(2.3b) +- (1.6): Suppose (pix = (piy for all i. Then pis V (piy = 1for all 0 i , hence (2.3b) reduces to x 5 y and similarly we prove y 5 E. 2.4. Theorem.

The classes of n-algebras with and without negation are equational. Proof. Immediate from Remark 2.2 and Proposition 2.3.

The last point in this section is to define LM-algebras using fewer operations than in the usual definitions. For instance it is clear that we can use only the lattice operations and the endomorphisms (pi as basic operations, as did Moisil [1941a] when he introduced the "n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras": 2.5. Remark. (1.2), 19-pre-algebras are characterized by axioms (l.l), (1.3')

127

Axiomatics of d-valued and n-valued algebras

We present below some further possibilities.

2.6. Proposition (Sicoe [1967b], [1968]). Let d be a fixed external involution f o r 19-algebras. An algebra ( L ,A, N , 1,{cpi}iEl) of type (2,1,0, {l}iEl) is equivalent to a 19-algebra with negation

(1.23) if and only if it fulfils (2.9) and (1.6). The necessity of (2.9) is easily checked. To prove sufficiency we write (2.9) in the equivalent form [piVj(X A

Taking x = y in (2.12) we obtain (1.4). Taking i = k in (2.11) we get (1.24). Taking t = N x in (2.11) and using (1.24) we infer (1.5). From (2.12) and (1.4) we obtain (2.1). Replacing i by di in (2.10) and using (1.24) we deduce N 9 ; z A cp;z = 0, whence (2.2) follows by (1.23). Thus L 0 is a d-algebra with negation by Proposition 2.1. Sicoe has also proved the independence of all the axioms but (2.8). 2.7. Corollary (Sicoe [1967c]). T h e system of azioms (1.6), (2.6), (2.7), (2.10)-(2.12) characterizes 6 algebras with negation via the transformations (2.4), (2.5) and (1.23). Proof.

Necessity is immediate. Conversely, (2.6) and (2.7) imply that ( L ,A, V) is a distributive lattice and N an involutive dual endomorphism by Proposition 1.2.9. Then from (2.10)-(2.12) we obtain (1.4), (1.24), (1.5), (2.1) and (2.2) with the same proof as for Proposition 1.5. Now we obtain x 5 ' p l x as in Remark 1.7.3 via Remark 1.4, hence (2.10) implies x A O =x

A Q O N XAcpla:

='poNx A V ~ = X 0,

therefore 0 is least element, so that 1(= NO) is greatest element and (2.8) 0 holds. The proof is concluded by Proposition 2.1. The idea of the last proposition of this section is that not only the dual endomorphisms pi can be dispended with in the definition, but also half of the endomorphisms cp;, on account of (1.24.1). The point is that if n = 2k 1

+

then (1.24.1) matches ( P I ,...,( ~ kto ( P k + l , ...,~ n - 1while if n = 2k then (1.24.1) matches (PI, ...,Q k - 1 to ( P k + l , ...,y n and (Pk to itself. To state our result formally we introduce the following

and since n-k-1

(2.13'), (2.18) and (2.13) that (1.24.1) is verified with di = n - i. Further, if (Phx = (Phy ( h = 1, ...,n - l ) , then p i N x = N(P,-~x= Nvn-iy = cpiNy, hence x = y by (2.17), therefore (1.6) holds. Now let i E (1,...,k} and j , m E {k 1, ...,n - 1 ) .

Axiomatics of three-valued algebras

131

93. Axiomatics of three-valued algebras T he first Lukasiewicz algebras invented by Moisil were the three-valued and thefour-valued ones. It turns o u t th a t they have many special properties, as was shown in the literature. In particular several systems of axioms for three-valued LM-algebras were given and some of them will be presented in

[1982]. The starting point is Proposition 2.9 for n = 3. In this case 1 = {1,2}, k = 1, axioms (1.5l) and (2.18) are vacuously fulfilled. Axiom (1.22) is independent of n, while (1.4'), (2.2l)and (2.14)-(2.17) become: ply1 = $91, $91" A N y l x = 0 , $9' is a lattice homomorphism, cplNpl = Nvl, $91 L Np1N and $91" = 'ply & p1Nx = cplNy + x = y, respectively, where we have translated (2.2') via (1.23). However, since most papers this section. See also Figallo and Tolosa

are written in terms of

$92

we will adopt this language and perform the

(2.13)i.e. $92 = NylN. Thus a three-valued Moisil algebra is an algebra ( L ,A , V, N,0 , 1,(p2) of type (2,2,1,0,0,1) such t h a t

3.2. Proposition. T h e following systems of axioms are equivalent: SO = {(3.0), ...,(3.7)) , S1 = {(3.0),(3.1),(3.4),(3.5),(3.8),(3.10),(3.11)}

,

S2 = {(3.0),(3.1),(3.8),(3.9)} , S3 = {(3.0),(3.8),(3.9),(3.12)} . Cornment .

S1 is a simplification of a system due to Moisil [1960]. System S2 was suggested by A. Monteiro [1963], while Becchio [1973] obtained S3 by eliminating a redundant axiom from a system due to Cignoli and A. Monteiro [1965]. Note that unlike our presentation, the original systems use only the unit element as a primitive constant operation, while 0 is defined by 0 = N1. Proof.

SO + S3: Using freely the properties of a Moisil algebra we obtain (3.12) by Proposition 1.13, then

' p ~ ( L 3 2A~ N

S4 j S5: For (3.1) & (3.8) + (3.24). S5 j S6: L i s a De Morgan algebra by (3.22) and (3.23). This implies readily (3.25) and (3.26), as well as wl = x1 A(yl Vzl) = w:,then w2 = w: by (3.8), w3 = 1 by (3.9) and w1= z4. The latter identities imply (3.27). S6 + S4: We are going to obtain the axioms of S4 as particular cases of (3.27) via (3.28), (3.25) and (3.26). Thus for z1= y1 = z1 = 1 and t2 = 5 3 = N1 we have w1 = N ( N 1 A

N1) = 1, w2 = 1, w 3 = 1, y1 A z1 = 1, wi = 1, wi = 1, hence (3.27) becomes w4 = x4, that is (3.22). For z4 = y4 = 1 and t 2 = z3= N1 we obtain w2 = 1, w 3 = 1,w4 = 1, wk = 1. introducing these values into (3.27) and taking into account that c A 1 = c by (3.22) with y = 1, we get w1 = w:,that is (3.23). Thus L is a De Morgan algebra, which facilitates the remainder of the proof. Taking z1 = y1 = 5 4 = 1 and t 2 = 0 yields w1 = w2 = w4 = wi = 20’ 2 -1, hence (3.27) reduces to w3 = 1, that is (3.21). For 51 = y1 = x4 = 1 and z3 = 0 we infer w1 = w 3 = w4 = wi = 1, hence (3.27) reduces to w2 = w;. Taking 2 2 = t 2 = 1 in w2 = w: we get Ncp2(22 A y2) = N(cp2x2A cp2y2), that is (3.1). Taking x = 1 in (3.21) we obtain cp21 = 1, therefore taking 2 2 = y2 = 0 t 2 = 1 in w2 = w: we deduce (3.8). Three more systems of axioms make use of the identities (3.30)

3.5. Corollary. Each of the following systems of axioms characterizes three-valued Moisil algebras:

S2’ = ((3.31)-(3.34),(3.1), (3.8),(3.9)} ,

S3’= ((3.31)-(3.34),(3.8),(3.9),(3.12)}, S4’= ((3.31)-(3.34),(3.1), (3.8),(3.21)) , S5‘ = ((3.31)-(3.34), (3.21),(3.24)) . Com ment. Systems S2’ and S4’ were given by A. Monteiro [1963],while S3’ is due t o Becchio [1973]and S5’ is new. Proof. Clearly SIC

+ SK’ (K = 2,...,5). To prove the converse, note first

L is a distributive lattice by (3.31),(3.32);cf. Proposition 1.2.4.Since SK’ contains also (3.9)or its equivalent (3.21)(4. (3.33) and the lattice properties), Lemma 3.4 ensures t h a t (3.30) is valid. Thus L fulfils (3.30)-(3.34), hence it is a De Morgan algebra by Propositions 1.1.31-1.1.32,therefore SIP + (3.0)and SIP + (3.22)& (3.23),that is 0 SIP =j S K (I< = 2,...,5).

that each SIP implies that

3.6. Remark. A. Monteiro, Petcu and Becchio also proved the independence of the systems S2’, S4’,S6 and S5‘, respectively. Thus e.g. Petcu gives the following models for the independence of S6: th e set (0,l) endowed, in turn, with arbitrary ‘p2and z A y = 1 and Nx = s for (3.25), x A y = min(z,y) and Ns = 0 for (3.26),x A y = y and Nx = x for (3.27).

(i) L is irredundant. (ii) FOTa n y j E {1, ...,n - l}, there exist x , y E L, such that (pix = (po;y, f o r i E ( I , ...,12 - l}\{j}, but x # y. 4.3. Proposition. Let L, be the canonical structure of Moisil algebra defined o n the chain (0 = co < c1 < ... < c , - ~ = 1). T h e following conditions are equivalent for a n y j E (1, ..., n - 1):

then

(ii) + (i): Now suppose x # y and x , y E {cn-j,cn-j-l}. We have (pjc,-j = 1 and ~pjc,,-j-~= 0. If i < j, (p;cn-j = = 0 and if i > j,

If L E Mn is irredundant, then the endomorphisms cpi are distinct. The converse is false; t o prove this we need a lemma. 4.5. Lemma. If L is a subalgebra of a direct product L f , then the following are equi-

If L

(i) L is irredundant.

(iii) For any element ci E L,, i = 1, ...,n - 1, there ezist z # y E L , such that p j ( z ) # pj(y) + pj(z) = c; and p j ( y ) = ci-1, Vj E M .

As t h e n-valued Moisil algebra L is irredundant, it follows t h a t there exist

# y E L , such that cpk(z) = cpk(z), for any k # n - i. Then p j ( c p k z ) = pj(cpky), Vj E M ,k # n - i. Therefore cpkpj(x) = cpkpj(y), Vk # n - i. By Proposition 4.3, it follows t h a t p j ( z ) # pj(y) + { p j ( z ) , p j ( y ) }= { c i , c i - l } . z

(ii) + (iii): If we consider z,y E L t o satisfy t h e conditions of (ii), we put u = z V y and v = z A y and these elements satisfy the conditions of (iii). (iii) + (iv): This follows immediately from Lemma 4.5.

(i) L i s exactly n-valued. (ii) cpi are distinct and f o r every i = 1, ..., n- 1, if one eliminates cpi and cpn-i, the determination principle fails. The proof is left t o the reader.

In the same way, if we take z = ( P Z X , it follows t h a t p k ( z ) # p k ( z ) + {pk(z),pk(z)) = {c2,c1} and the condition (ii) of Theorem 4.6 is satisfied.

CHAPTER 4 CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER CLASSES OF LATTICES

Post algebras and Heyting algebras are t w o other important classes of lattices studied i n algebraic logic. In this chapter we investigate i n some detail the fact th a t the following classes of lattices f o r m an increasing chain: Post algebras, axled Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras, Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras, Heyting algebras

($51-3); i n subsequent chapters various properties of

LM-algebras will be used i n order to obtain significant properties of Post algebras. In 54 we study Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras as pseudocomplemented lattices, while the last two sections deal w i th LM-algebras t h a t are also complete lattices a nd m-cornplete lattices, respectively.

$1. Post algebras In this section Post algebras and 8-valued Post algebras are defined and shown to coincide w i th centred n-valued and centred &valued LM-algebras, respectively. See also Wade

(19451.

There are several equivalent definitions of Post algebras, e.g.:

1.1. Definition (Epstein [1960],Traczyk [1963]). A n n-valued Post algebra or simply a Post algebra is an algebra ( L ,A, V, O,l,cl, ...,c,-z) of type (2,2,0,0, {O}i=l, ...,n - ~ )such that:

2.35. Remark. Theorem 2.34 cannot be extended to n > 4. Thus e.g. it was shown in Remark 2.20 that the Moisil algebra Lk is not axled, however, LL has a Boolean interval, namely {c+l,cg = N q - 1 ) if n is even and { c =N ~ c y } if n is odd. 2.36. Corollary (A. Monteiro [1980], Boicescu [1986]). T h e following conditions are equivalent f o r L E M3 o r L E M4;

L is complete;

(ii) L is complete and azled; (iii) L is of t h e f o r m L r2 A x B, where A i s a complete n-valued P o s t algebra a n d B is a complete Boolean algebra. Comment . In particular every finite algebra L E M3 or L E M4 is axled (Moisil [1940]). Proof.

(ii): L has a Boolean interval by Corollary 2.32, therefore L is (i) axled by Theorem 2.34. (ii) + (iii): Follows easily from Theorem 2.26. (iii) + (i): Immediate. 0 2.37. Proposition. If L E Mn is azled t h e n [an-2) E C ( L ) . Proof. Define f : [an-2) ---f C ( L ) by f(x) = ylx. Clearly f is a surjective morphism in D01.

which implies x 2 x' by Remark 3.1.4; similarly x' 2 x, therefore x = 2'. Thus f is an isomorphism in DO1 and Remark 1.2.21 applied to f - l shows 0 that the isomorphism holds in B too. 2.38. Proposition. Suppose L E M3 OT L € M4. If L is axled t h e n [ N u l )

Proof. Note that

and define f : [ N u l ) I ( L ) by f(z) = [ N x , z ] ,which makes sense in view of (2.35). For every [ z , N z ] E I ( L ) we have z 5 a1 5 Nu1 5 N z by Theorem 2.34, therefore N z E [ N u l ) and [ z ,N z ] = f ( N z ) ;this proves that f is surjective. It is readily seen from (2.35) that z 5 y u f(x ) 5 f(y) for z , y E [ N u l ) . Therefore Remark 1.1.25 and Proposition 1.1.23 imply that f is a lattice isomorphism; besides f ( N u 1 ) = [al, Null and f(1) = [0,1], i.e. I7 f is an isomorphism in D01. .--)

2.39. Theorem (Abad and L. Monteiro [1984]). Suppose L E M3 OT L E M4. If L is axled t h e n I ( L ) a's a B o o l e a n algebra. Proof. Inasmuch as a,-2 5 N u l , Proposition 2.38 and 2.37 show that I ( L ) is isomorphic to an interval of the Boolean algebra C ( L ) ,therefore I ( L ) is I7 a Boolean algebra itself by Example 1.2.25.

Heyting dgebras

201

$3. Heyting algebras Heyting algebras constitute one of the fundamental structures generated by mathematical logic. Therefore the problem of investigating the relationships between Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras and Heyting algebras is a natural one. The fact that every Moisil algebra is a Heyting algebra was first proved by Moisil [1942c], [1963a] for three-valued algebras, then generalized t o the n-valued case (Moisil [1965]); see also Cignoli [1969a] and lturrioz [1977]. For every

The following properties are well known and easy t o prove. The definition of + reads as follows: z A x 5 y if and only if z 5 x + y. A first consequence is y I: 2 + y, which implies x A (x +- y) = x A y. Another consequence is that every Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice

(x A ( y V~ y2) = (x A y ~ V) (x A y2) because x A (y1 V y2) is an upper bound of x A y1 and x A y2 and if z is another upper bound then yh 5 x + z ( h = 1,2), hence y1 V y2 5 2 + z therefore x A (yl V y2) 5 z ) with 0 and 1 = x + t for any x. The basic definition also implies t h a t the inequality x 5 y is equivalent t o x + y = 1, therefore 0 + x = x 3 2 = x + 1 = 1. Note also that 1 + x = x. If L is totally ordered then y < x implies x + y = y. Cf. e.g. Balbes and Dwinger [1974]. 3.3. Theorem (Cignoli [1975]). If L E LMn then ( L ,+) defined by (3.1) (or (3.3)) is a Heyting algebra.

Then (3.10) implies 1 =0 0 and L E D01, i.e. axiom (3.1.1) holds. Now (3.15) reads ' p l x + x = 1 i.e. ' p l x 5 x . In particular 'p10 = 0 therefore (3.14) implies that 'pi0 = ' p i ' p I O = 'p10 = 0 for each i, while 'pi1 = q i ( x =+ x ) = 1 by (3.7). Taking also into account (3.11) we see that axiom (3.1.2) holds as well. Further from (3.14) (3.13) and (3.12) we deduce then

Then (3.7) implies (pl(z + y ) = 1 and since q l ( z + y) 5 z =+ y we have in fact x y = 1, that is z 5 y , similarly 0 y 5 z, therefore z = y. This proves (3.1.6). A similar result is due t o lturrioz [1977], who has shown that a Moisil n-valued algebra can be characterized as a s y m m e t r i c H e y t i n g algebra (i.e., a Heyting algebra that is also a De Morgan algebra) endowed with n - 1 unary operations 'pi satisfying (3.7), (3.14) and

CHAPT E R 5

FILTERS, IDEALS AND 8-CONGRUENCES

T he aim of this chapter is t o construct a theory of filters, ideals and congruences in LM-algebras generalizing the main results of t h e correspon-

ding theory for distributive lattices (6.

Ch. 1, 93).

T h e starting point is

a convenient definition o f th e concepts of filter, ideal and congruence in LM-algebras, obtained by adding appropriate extra conditions to the corresponding concepts of lattice theory and universal algebra, respectively (cf.

Ch. 1). T he last section answers a problem raised by Cignoli i n connection wit h a property o f prime filters in Post algebras.

$1.d-filters, d-ideals and 8-congruences

A 9-filter (&ideal) of an LM-algebra is quite naturally defined as a filter (an ideal) compatible w i th the endomorphisms cpi. It turns o u t t h a t &filters coincide wit h Stone filters and w i th deductive systems. Since the quotient

L / p of an LM-algebra L by a congruence p (in the sense of universal algebra) need not satisfy th e determination principle, we introduce t h e stronger concept of 9-congruence. T h e “metatheorem” of this section is t h a t 6- filters (&ideals),

d-congruences and quotient algebras behave as one would

expect. See also Hatvany [1984].

1.1. Definition. Let L E LMd. A d-filter of L is a filter F of L such t h a t A d-ideal of L is an ideal H of

x E F jcpox L such th a t x E H + cp1z E H .

In the sequel we only deal w i th &filters b u t all the results can be transferred by duality to 1’1-ideals.

Filters, ideals and 6-congruences

1.2. Remark. For every &filter

F

The concept of &filter was introduced by Moisil [1940], [1963c] for nalgebras and later [1968] for d-algebras, under the name of strong filter (because there exist filters that are not &filters, e.g.

LM-algebras 6-filters coincide with Stone filters introduced by A. Monteiro

[1954] (6. A. Monteiro [1974]) and studied by Cignoli [1966a], [1966b] and Cherciu [1971].

1.3. Definition.

A Stone filter of a bounded (distributive) lattice L is a filter F of L such that for every x E F there is y E F n C ( L ) such t h a t y _< z. We set

F* = F n C ( L ) .

(1.1)

1.4. Proposition.

The following conditions are equivalent for a filter F of an algebra L E LM6: (i) F is a 6-filter; (ii) F is

a

Stone filter;

(iii) F is generated by F*; (iv)

F = cp;l(F*).

Proof.

+ (ii): For x E F take y = pas. + (iii): Obvious. + (iv): Because z E F * pox E F H 'pox E F*

(i) (ii) (iii)

249

F =+ 'pox E F' G F.

Comment.

It is easily seen that F* is the unique filter of C(L) satisfying (iv).

1.5. Definition. Let L E LM9. For every subset X of L we denote by [ X ) , the &filter generated by X , i.e. t h e least 19-filter including X . Also, we denote by Fl(L) and F119(L) the lattice of all filters of L and t h e lattice of all 19-filters of L, respectively.

1.7. Theorem.

For every L E LM19 the m a p s * : F119(L) + Fl(C(L)) defined by (1.1) and 'pi' : Fl(C(L)) -+ F119(L) are lattice isomorphisms anverse t o each other. Proof. Clearly the maps * and 'pol are isotone and their targets are those indicated above. The composites

mappings by Proposition 1.4 and

g,'(P) n C(L) = P which follows from x E

( V P E FlC(L)) ,

C(L)n 'p;'(P) -s x = 'pox E P -s 5 E P .

The congruences in the classes LMQ and LMNQ are introduced according t o the general Definition 1.5.11. However, compatibility with 9; and N follows from the other conditions:


250

1.8. Proposition (Boicescu [1984]). T h e following conditions are equivalent f o r a n equivalence relation p of a n algebra L E L M 8 :

(i) p is a congruence; (ii) p is compatible with A, V and

Filters, ideals and d-congruences

Definition 1.9 ensures that if p is a 29-congruence of an algebra L E LM6 ( L E LMN29) then the determination principle holds in L / p , therefore L / p E LM19 ( L / p E LMNB). In view of Theorem 1.13 every &congruence p is of t he form mod F for some &filter F (= ker p). The quotient 29algebra L / m o d F will be denoted simply by L / F . In particular if L E LMn or L E Mn then every n- congruence is of t h e form m o d F and L / F will stand for L/mod F .

1.17. Remarks. a) In a Moisil n-algebra Proposition 1.8 remains true: If L E Mn we still

have t o prove that x p y implies N x p N y . This follows from

Therefore a l l types o f congruences reduce t o lattice congruences compatible with 'pi.

b) However, this does not hold in general, as shown e.g. by the following example due t o lorgulescu 11984~1.Suppse I is an infinite regular set (6. Definition 4.6.7) and take L = (?(I))['. Let Fo C C ( L ) be the filter of those functions f E C ( L )for which the constant value f ( i ) is a cofinite set (i.e., I - f ( i ) is finite). We denote by F the &filter generated by Fo and prove that mod F is not a &congruence. Let g, h E L be defined by g ( i ) = [O,i-]C I for i # 0, g(0) = 0 and h ( i ) = [O,i]G I,for Vi E I . For each i E I, define f; E C(L)by f i ( j ) = I - {i} V j E I. Then f i E FO C F and ('pig

It follows from Remark 1.17 b) and Proposition 1.8 that for certain sets 1 the corresponding classes LMd and LMNd are not equational (because the homomorphic image L / p of L is outside t h e class whenever the congruence p is not a &congruence).

1.19. Proposition. Let L E LMd or L E LMNd. If F, F’ E Fld(L) and F 5 F‘ then = {i I x E F’} is a 29- filter of L / F . If, moreover, F’ is proper (prime) is so. then

Then [ a ) is an m-filter; besides, [a) is a &filter or not according as a E C ( L )or not. A filter which is both a &filter and an m-filter will be called an (m, O)-filter. The reader is urged t o transcribe the results o f this section to the case of the (m, d)-filters of an m-algebra. In particular the restriction of the functions in Theorem

1.7 yields an isomorphism between the complete lattice o f all (m, d)-filters of t he m-algebra

L and the m-filters of the Boolean m-algebra C(L).

(ii) the dual condition. Suppose L is an m-algebra (cf. Definition 4.6.1) and let F be a &filter of

L. Then using Proposition 1.2.27 and F = i it is easily seen that m o d F is an m-congruence if and only if F is an (m,d)-filter. Let us call (m,d)congruence every 8-congruence which is also an m-congruence. Thus m o d F is an (m, 29)-congruence for every (m, 9)-filter

F

and as a matter of fact the

isomorphism constructed in Theorem 1.13 can be restricted to an isomorphism between the complete lattice of all (m, 29)-filters and the complete lattice of all (m,d)-congruences.

The reader is urged to transcribe other

results of this section t o the case of (m, 8)-congruences. Now we turn to further consequences of the previous basic results. Proposition 1.14 has a kind of converse for 3-valued Moisil algebras. Let

Let L be a double pseudocomplemented lattice. T h e m a p ker is a bijection between O(L)and the set of ++-closed filters of L if and only i f L E M3. Sketch of proof. Sufficiency. If L E M 3 then i t s congruences coincide with

the congruences of the underlying double pseudocomplemented lattice, while the 3-filters are exactly the ++-closed filters. Necessity. In view of Theorem 4.4.4 it suffices t o show that

1.26. Definition.

A class K: of 7-algebras is said to have the congruence extension property if for every A E K , every subalgebra B of A and every congruence p of B , there is a congruence p' of A such t h a t p'

n B2 = p.

1.27. Proposition (Boicescu (19841).

T h e class LMn has the congruence extension property. Proof. Let A E LMn and B , p as in Definition 1.26. The filter F generated by ker p in A is obviously a d-filter and we shall prove that m o d F n B 2 = p. If ( z , y ) E m o d F f l B2 then x , y E B and there is u E A such that

x A u = y A u and a 5 u for some a E ker p , therefore x A a = y A a, hence ( 2 , ~ )E mod o ker p = p by Proposition 1.14. Thus m o d F n B 2 E p, while 0 the converse is obvious from p = mod o ker p. 1.28. Remark.

It is known (see e.g. Pierce [1968], Lemma 3.1.8) t h a t if A is a 7-algebra and p,u E @ ( A )then p o u E @ ( A ) if and only if p o u = a o p, in which case p o u = p V u in the lattice @ ( A ) .The algebra A is said t o have

map @ ( A )+ ?(A) defined by p b) An algebra A has property

H

[z],, is injective;

R whenever all of its elements have property

R; c) A class

K: of valgebras has property R if all of its algebras have property

R. Varlet [1972] proved t h a t a double pseudocomplemented lattice has pro-

R if and only if z* = y* & z+ = y + + z = y . In particular L M 3 has property R and this characterizes L M 3 within t h e class of double Stone

perty

algebras. One can prove more: 1.33. Proposition.

The class LMn has property R. Proof. Notice first that the element 1has property R, because if [l]= ,, [1lPz then ker

p2

whence Proposition 1.30 implies

p1

Then take z E L E LMn and p I , p 2 E O ( L ) such that [z],,

= [z],,.

Using the LMn-structures of [0, z]and [z, 1 1 (cf. Theorem 4.4.16) one sees that

P k fl [z, 11'

1.34. Remark.

The concept of filter in a Boolean algebra has been given an equivalent definition, very appropriate t o the purposes of symbolic logic: a filter is the same as a deductive system. The latter term designates a subset

D

of the

Boolean algebra B such that

(i) 1E D and (ii) if z E

B . Then 1 E F and from x E F and x -+ y =? vyi E F we obtain z ~ = yx A ( % V Y ) E F hence y E F . Conversely, suppose D is a deductive system. Then D # 0 because 1E D. If x E D and x 5 y then x ---f y = 1E D therefore y E D.

To prove the equivalence suppose first that

F is a filter

of

If x , y E D then from

x A y = Z V ( x A y ) = f V y L. y

we obtain z + x A y E D by the previous property, therefore x A y E

D.

It turns out that the above properties can be extended t o LM-algebras. The point is a convenient generalization of the Boolean implication, invented by A. Monteiro in 1963 for 3-valued Moisil algebras and called weak implication; cf. Cignoli [1969a]. Then Cignoli [1969a], [1970] defined and studied the weak implication and the deductive systems of Moisil n- algebras. Thus the results presented below are due t o A. Monteiro and Cignoli.

Several characterizations of those lattices

L E DO1 in which maximal

Stone filters coincide with minimal prime filters were obtained by A. Monteiro [1954] and then by Cignoli [1971b], who started from a result of Cherciu

[1971]. 2.5. Proposition.

Suppose L E LMd, F as a 29-filter, 0 # S C L , F n S = 0 and x,y E S + x V y E S. Then there is a prime 19-filter P such that

F* n (cp0S]c(~) = 0, otherwise x 5 cpos for some x E F* and s E S, which would imply cpos E F , then s E F , a contradiction. According t o Q and Theorem 1.3.10 there is a prime filter Q of C ( L ) such that F* 0 Q n (cpOS]c(~)= 0. Then P = Qo has the desired properties. Proof.

2.6. Remark. Proposition 2.5 yields corollaries similar t o Corollaries 1.3.11-1.3.14 of Theorem 1.3.10. Thus e.g. a) in a d-algebra every proper d-filter is included in a prime &filter and is

an intersection of prime &filters. Also,

2.7. Proposition.

The intersection of all maximal 9-filters of a n LM19-algebra L is (1). Proof. It follows from Theorem 2.3 that an element x belongs t o all maximal 6-filters

F of L if and only if cpOx belongs to all maximal filters F* of C(L),

and this is equivalent t o pox = 1 by Theorem 1.3.28, therefore t o x = 1 by (3.1.27) and (3.1.2). 2.8. Definition. Let us say t h a t a congruence (a d-congruence) is:

(i) proper if it is distinct from the universal congruence L2,and

2.13. Remark. In this book there are several uses of t h e symbol Ker which should not be confused, even if they are not distinguished by subscripts. The first meaning is the one used in universal algebra: if A, A' are r-algebras then

(2.2)

kerA,At

is defined as in (1.5.6), i.e. for every f E Hom(A,A'), (2.3)

The first occurrence of this concept was in formula (1.3.8), in t h e particular case of lattices. As a matter of fact we are interested in t h e more particular case of algebras L , (2.4)

= f ( c p i 4 = f(cpiY) = Vif(Y)

(Vi E I)

therefore f(z)= f(y) i.e. z(kerL,Lt f)y. The next meaning of ker was first used in Theorem 1.13, again for L , L' E LM19 or LMNB: (1.4)

kerL : Oo(L)-+ F16(L)

(1.7)

ker p = { z E L I z p l }

A third and similar meaning will be introduced now. 2.14. Theorem (Cignoli [1969a], Georgescu [1971d]).

Let C = LM19 or C = LMNB. For every L E C there is a bijection between PFld(L) and Homc(L, L;'). Proof. Set Homc(L,L, UI) = H and KerL = kerL o k e r L , y i.e., for each

(i) j ( i i ) : The morphism f = Ker-'F : L + is a surjection by Corollary 2.15, therefore L'\ FZ L / ker f by the homomorphism theorem 1.5.16. Thus it remains to prove that ker f = modF. First we apply (2.6) and obtain

(ii) + (i): Suppose F’ is a proper 29-filter of L such that F E F‘. Then = {2 I z E F’} is a proper &filter of L/F by Proposition 1.19. As 0 remarked after Definition 1.1, this implies F? = {i},that is F‘ = F . 2.17. Proposition. T h e following conditions are equivalent f o r L E LM29 and F E Fl(L):

(i) F is mazimal; (ii) there is a p r i m e filter G of C(L) (necessarily unique: G = F’) such that F = GI. Proof.

(i) + (ii): In view of Lemma 2.2 we obtain in turn that F* is prime in C ( L ) , F C (F*)1 and (F*)l is prime in L , hence proper; therefore F = ( F * ) l . If F = G1then F’ = (Gl)* = G by Lemma 2.2.

proved analogously.

A. Monteiro [1974]has shown that for L E D01, every prime filter is included in a unique maximal filter if and only if L is n o r m a l i.e. for every x,y E L satisfying x Ay = 0, there exist u , v E L such that X A V = y A u = 0 and u V v = 1. Then it follows from Corollary 2.18 t h a t every L E LM9 is normal; this can be also proved directly taking u = 'plyVx and v = cplxVy.

2.19. Definitio n. Let L E LM9. Denote by Rad(L) the intersection of all maximal filters of L. For every proper filter F of L let Rad(F) stand for t h e intersection of all maximal filters of L that include F . 2.20. Proposition. Let L E LM19 and set M = PFl(C(L)). Then

Conversely, suppose F' = G1 where G f M 2 . Then F' is maximal by Proposition 2.17 and 2 E F implies cplx E F* G G hence x E GI = F', proving that F 5 F', therefore F' E M I .

A. Monteiro (cf. A. Monteiro [1974]) raised the problem of whether a bounded distributive lattice in which every proper filter is an intersection of maximal filters and dually, is a Boolean algebra. The answer is negative, as was shown independently by Balbes [1972] and Adams [1974]. However for

L E LMn the answer is positive; cf. Theorem 2.22. 2.24. Proposition.

which includes a prime filter is also prime if and only if L is fully normal; cf. Definition 4.3.14. The above equivalence (i) e (ii) implies that every LMn-algebra is fully normal; cf. Proposition 4.3.16. The equivalence (i) ($ (v) generalizes a result of Cignoli [1969a] on Moisil n-algebras (see also Cignoli [1975a]). 2.26. Corollary (Cignoli [1969a], [1975a]). If L E LMn then t h e poset PFl(L) is the cardinal s u m of a set of chains of cardinality 5 n - 1 each: (2.10)

{G; I i = 1, ...,n - 1)

, G E PFl(C(L)) .

Proof. Taking into account Theorem 2.25 it only remains to prove that every two elements belonging to distinct chains (2.10) are incomparable. If Gi C Gi for G,G‘E PFl(C(L)) then G = (G;)’ (G>)* = G‘, therefore

Proposition 2.29 cannot be generalized to infinite 6; thus e.g. Liq is infinite while cardPF1d(Lhq) = 1 as noticed after Remark 1.2. 2.30. Remark. The theory presented in this section can be extended in several ways. One of them has been already mentioned: the passage from LM-algebras to bounded distributive lattices. Another idea is followed in Sicoe (19711: the study of the ideals of the form c p i ( K ) or cp;l(IC), where i E I is fixed and I< runs over the ideals of L. lorgulescu [1984c] has obtained a natural generalization of Theorem 2.3 and several related results within the framework of m-concepts; cf. Remarks 1.3.31 and 1.20. In particular it is noted that every maximal 9-filter which is also an m-filter is obviously a maximal (m, d)-filter but it is not known whether these two concepts coincide and their relationship to the concept of maximal 19-filter is also an open problem. lorgulescu [1984c] also proved that in the d-valued algebras (d-infinite) the equivalence (i) % (v) in Theorem 2.25 does not hold.

The Cignoli problem

283

We reminded above t h a t if L E DO1 and L is an n-valued Post algebra, then L has property P . The converse is not true, as was proved by Chang and Horn [1961]. They have considered L = L:, where S = {sili E w @ 1). Obviously L E DO1 and let L1 be the subset of L formed by the elements such t h a t f ( s n ) = c2, for any n E w, n 2 n o , for some no E w and f(sw) = c1 or c2, or f ( s n ) = co, for any n E w, n 2 no, for some noE w and f(sw) = co. One proves that L1is a sublattice with 0 and 1of the lattice L and has property P , but L1 is not a three-valued Post algebra. One can say even more:

3.6. Proposition. L1 E DO1 defined above has no structure of three-valued LukasiewiczMoisil algebra. Proof. As

L1 satisfies condition P

but cannot be a three-valued Post alge-

bra, this follows from Theorem 3.4.

This proposition was initially proved by Cignoli [1969b]. Chang and Horn [1961] and then Traczyk [1963] gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a bounded distributive lattice having property P t o be a Post algebra, but in those characterizations appear the constants ci from the definition of a Post algebra.

3.7. Corollary. If L E DO1 and satisfies property P , then the following are equivalent:

(i) L is a n n-valued Post algebra;

(ii) L has a structure of n-valued Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebra. 3.8. Corollary. If L E DO1 and satisfies property P , then L has a unique structure of n-valued Lukasiewiez-Moisil algebra compatible with the lattice structure. Proof. By Theorem 3.4 it follows that L has a structure of n-valued Post algebra. This structure is unique (cf. Balbes and Dwinger [1974] p. 192

284


or Exercise X.2.8) and it determines uniquely the structure of LukasiewiczMoisil algebra; cf.

CHAPTER 6 REPRESENTATION T H EOR E M S AND DUALITY FOR LM-

ALGEBRAS

Various ideas have been used in the literature i n order to describe the structure of LM-algebras in "more concrete" terms: algebraic representations as subdirect products of simple algebras, representations as algebras o f sets or of fuzzy sets, representations as algebras of continuous functions, dualities between th e categories of LM-algebras w i t h and without negation and certain categories of topological spaces, construction of n-valued algebras i n terms o f three-valued ones.

$1. The representation theorem of Moisil One of t he most important results in the theory of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras is t he representation theorem given by Moisil i n 1941 for t h e threevalued algebras, in 1963 for th e n-valued algebras and in 1968 for t h e 9valued algebras. In this section we give a sharpened version of t h e Moisil theorem and study various important particular cases of it.

1.1. Proposition.

Let L E LM6 (or L E LMN6) and F E Fld(L). FOTevery z E L (z E C(L))let [z](let 2,) denote its equivalence class with respect t o F ( t o F* = F n C(L)).T h e n

It is clearly a homomorphism and also a surjection, because if x E C ( L ) then [x]E C ( L / F ) and 9% = 2. To prove injectivity suppose p 5 = pyy for [x],[y] E C ( L / F ) ;then poxAu = p o y A u for some u E F n C ( L ) ,therefore hence y

The representation theorem of Moisil

287

The above results enable us t o obtain representations of LukasiewiczMoisil algebras from representations of Boolean algebras, as we are going t o show below. The basic tool is the concept of subdirect decomposition in Definition 1.5.18 and Birkhoff’s Theorem 1.5.19. That theorem is based on a lemma according to which for every algebra A and every set of congruences 19, (s E S) of A such that

n

19, = AA, t h e quotient algebras

sES

A/19, are the factors of a subdirect decomposition of A and conversely, every subdirect decomposition of A can be obtained in this way. Then it is proved that one can choose the congruences 6, so as t o fulfil t h e above condition and besides, each algebra A / 6 , be subdirectly irreducible. Moreover, if X: is an equational class and A E X: then each algebra A / d , E K: therefore every algebra of a n equational class has a subdirect decomposition i n t o subdirecth~irreducible factors, within that class. 1.3. Proposition. Let L E LM19 ( O T L E LMNS). There is a bijection between the subdirect decompositions of L in LM19 (in LMN19) and the subdirect decompositions of the Boolean algebra C ( L ) , a n y two such decompositions being connected by the diagram in Fig. 1.1. Proof using t h e above universal algebraic lemma. The factors of the former decompositions are of the form L/19, E LM19 (LMN19), hence 19, E Oo(L).

Now apply Theorem 5.1.13, Proposition 1.3.26, Theorem 5.1.7 and Lemma 1.2.

1.4. Definition. An algebra L E LM19 ( L E LMNB) is &simple provided cardL

Oo(L) = {A,r,,L2}. 1.5. Proposition.

1.6. Theorem (Cignoli [1969a], [1975],Boicescu [1984]). If L E LMd or L E LMN.9 and card L > 1 t h e n the folZowing conditions are equivalent: (i)

L i s simple;

Then L S (a] x [a) by Lemma 4.2.24, 0 (a] or L E [a), that is a = 1 or a = 0. therefore L 1.7. Remark. Proposition 1.5 and Theorem 1.6 imply that every L E LM6 ( L E LMN6) is a subdirect product of subdirectly irreducible d-valued algebras (8-valued algebras with negation). This result cannot be obtained using the Birkhoff

theorem because the classes LMd and LMNd need not be equational; cf. Remark 5.1.18. Moisil ([1963b], [1968]) proved that every Mn-algebra (LMS-algebra) can be embedded in a direct product of copies of L, (of

Lbq). These pro-

perties are sharpened in the next two results.

E v e r y algebra L E Pz') is a subdirect product of copies of Li'. Proof. Use Corollary 2.5.15.b.

0

1.11. Corollary (Epstein [1960]). E v e r y algebra L E Pn is a subdirect product of copies of L,. Note t h a t t h e converse fails: thus e.g. t h e algebra L in Example 4.5.25 is a subdirect product of copies of

L3 but it is not a 3-valued Post algebra

(e.g. by Corollary 4.1.9). 1.12. Lemma.

L, a n d L2 are the only axled n-algebras t h a t are subalgebras of L, in LMn.

Proof. Suppose t h e axled algebra L'

is a subalgebra of L, in Mn. If 0 is an

axis of L' then L' is a Boolean algebra by (4.2.2) therefore L' = L z . Suppose 0 is not an axis of L'. But (4.2.1) shows that 1 is not an axis either, therefore the axes of L' belong t o L, - L'. Thus L' is not a Boolean algebra, hence it has n - 2 distinct axes by Proposition 4.2.4, hence L' = L,.O

1.13. CorolIa ry . E v e r y axled n-valued algebra L is a subdirect product of algebras L , and

L2, in t h e class of axled n-algebras. Proof. If L is axled th e algebras L / F s in the proof of Proposition 1.5 are also axled because th e class Azn of axled algebras is equational. Also, the involved morphisms preserve the axes, therefore t h e decomposition is va-

lid in Azn. But each L/Fd is a simple Mn-algebra, hence a subalgebra of LP-l1 E L, by Theorem 1.6, therefore it is L , or L2 by Lemma 1.12. 0

Our next concern is t o find conditions under which the subdirect decomposition in Theorem 1.8 becomes a direct decomposition.

1.14. Proposition.

Let L E LMd and F a filter of L. T h e n : (i) F i s a principal 29-filter H H F = [x)for some x E C(L).

If L E LMd there is a bijection between the set of its principal maximal 4-filters and the set of atoms of its center. 1.16. Lemma. If L E LMn OT L E Mn and i s complete and atomic t h e n L is a direct product of subalgebras of LP-']. Proof. We apply Lemma 1.2 t o the family {[x) I x E

At(C(L))}of all

principal maximal d-filters; cf. Proposition 1.14. In this case the morphism

1.18. Remark. In a finite Boolean algebra every proper filter

maximal filters (namely those generated by the atoms included in the generator of

F).

1.19. Corollary (Moisil (1941a1, Cignoli [1969a], [1975]). Every finite algebra L E LMn (or L E Mn) is a direct product of subalgebras of LP-'] (= L,), the number of factors being c a r d A t ( C ( L ) ) or equivalently the number of maximal n-filters. S u c h a decomposition is unique . Proof. The first statement follows from Corollary 1.15 and the remark that every (n-)filter is principal. The second statement follows from Proposition 1.3 and Remark 1.18 applied t o [l).

1.20. Corollary.

Every finite axled n-algebra is a direct product of algebras L, and Lz,in the class of axled n-algebras. Proof. From Corollary 1.19 and Lemma 1.12. Example 4.5.25 shows that in Theorem 1.17 one cannot replace, in general, condition (ii) by

C(L) being complete and atomic. However this can

be done for t he class Pn: 1.21. Corollary.

T h e following conditions are equivalent for a n algebra L E Pn:

L is a direct product of copies of the algebra LP-'] (E Ln);

(i)

(ii) L is complete and atomic; (iii) C ( L ) is complete and atomic. Proof. By Theorem 1.17, Lemma 1.12, Corollary 4.5.8 and Theorem 4.5.21. 0

It was remarked in Ch. 5, 94, that the atomic finite algebra L, is not strongly atomic. However Proposition 1.23 below shows that the elements of a complete and atomic LMn-algebra do have a representation similar t o that in the definition of strong atomicity.

1.22. Definition. An element z =5

of a lattice L is said t o be join-irreducible if Vy, z E L : y V

+ y = o or z = 2.

1.23. Proposition.

If L

E LMn is complete and atomic t h e n every e2ement of L is uniquely

represented as a j o i n of pairwise incomparable join-irreducible elements. Proof. In view of Theorem 1.16 we may suppose that

T he next result is a partial generalization of Theorem 1.16 to an arbitrary

6. 1.25. Theorem.

The following conditions are equivalent for a n algebra L E LM6 ( L E LMN6): (i) C ( L ) is finite;

(ii) L is a direct product of finitely many subalgebras of LLq; (iii) F16(L) is finite; (iv) every proper filter of L is a unique intersection of maxima2 6-filters. Proof.

(i) + (ii): By Lemma 1.16. (ii) +- (iii): cardC(Lhq) = 2, hence if t h e number of factors A, of L is rn then cardC(L) = 2", therefore F16(L) is also finite by Theorem 5.1.7.

(iii)

+ (iv):

Theorem 5.1.7 shows th a t Fl(C(L)) is finite hence C ( L )

is finite, therefore each proper filter of

C(L)is

a unique intersection of


295

maximal filters of C(L)by Remark 1.17. The latter property is transferred t o the &filters of L again by Theorem 5.1.7. (iv)

+ (i): Every proper filter of C ( L )is a unique intersection of maximal

filters by Theorem 5.1.7, therefore

C(L)is finite by the converse of Remark

The above corollary generalizes the representation obtained by Cignoli [1969a], [1971] for finite n-valued algebras with or without negation. In view of the previous results we may wish to count t h e subalgebras of

$2, Applications of the representation theorem In this section we illustrate the fact that various problems concerning LM-algebras can be solved with the aid of the representation theorem 1.8. Thus e.g.

consider the problem whether there may exist several 19-

algebras ( L ,A, V, {p;}iEr,{p;};Er,0 , l ) ,having the same underlying boundedlattice structure ( L ,A, V, 0 , l ) . 2.1. Proposition.

If L E LM3 then (p2 is a closure operator on L (cf. Definition 1.1.14) therefore p2 is uniquely determined by its Moore family C ( L )by Remark 1.1.15 and Proposition 3.1.5. A dual argument holds for t h e interior operator $ol.

The class of axled n-algebras is a proper subclass of the class of Moisil n-algebras (cf. Theorem 4.2.10 and e.g. Remark 4.2.20) and is characterized by the representation theorem 4.2.26: every axled n-algebra is of the


302 form A x

B with A E Pn and B E B. Moisil [1940] raised t h e problem of

obtaining a simpler theorem in the general case and introduced the concept of strictly chrysippian element as a tool for solving this problem. 2.4. Definition. An element m of a lattice L E DO1 will be called strictly chrysippian (du-

S ( L ) and S'(L) denote the sets of strictly chrysippian elements and dually strictly chrysippian elements of L , respectively. Let

(i)

(pl(S(L)) = S(L) by Proposition 2.5. Therefore S ( L ) E Fln(L). If cpr(F) = F E Fln(L) then for every m E F and x E L we get m V x E F E C ( L ) hence m E S(L). Clearly

The Glivenko theorem 4.4.8 constructs the Heyting-algebra isomorphism L / D s ( L ) 2 C(L).But D s ( L ) Dn(L) hence L/Dn(L) is a quotient algebra of L / D s ( L ) by the second isomorphism theorem (cf. e.g. the literature quoted in the introduction t o Ch. 1, $5) therefore L / D s ( L ) E B.

(ii) Suppose D s ( L ) = Dn(L). If x E D s ( L ) then q1x E D s ( L ) hence q1x = vn-Iv1x = 1, therefore x = 1. Thus D s ( L ) = [l) hence L E B again by Theorem 4.4.8. The converse is trivial.

The above corollary specifies the structure of finite algebras; cf. Corollary 1.19. In the infinite case the situation is difFerent. Thus e.g. the algebra

L in Example 4.5.25 satisfies S(L)= (1) but L $ P3 (e.g. by Corollary 4.1.9). However Corollary 2.11 (ii) is also valid in the infinite case, as shown by the next result which we quote without proof 2.12. Proposition (Boicescu [1986a]).

The next result provides a technique for proving identities. The intuitive concept of identity is clear; the precise technical meaning is given in Definition 1.5.26.

2.13. Proposition. The following conditions are equivalent for two LMn-polynomials p , q (i.e., words of the Peano algebra of the same type as LMn): the identity p = q holds in every L E LMn;

(i)

(ii) the identity p = q holds in every chain L E LMn;

(iii) the identity p = q holds in LF-'] (2 L,). Proof.

(i) + (ii) + (iii): Trivial. (iii) + (i): Clearly p = q holds in every subalgebra of LF-'], hence in every L E LMn by Corollary 1.9. Now we refer the reader t o Definition 4.3.17 (together with Definition 4.3.11) for the concept of P-algebra and the class

Iir

of P-algebras. We

have noticed in Remark 4.3.19 that every LMn-algebra can be made into a P-algebra. Since every chain with 0 and 1is clearly a P-algebra (recall that z

5

y if and only if z

+ y = l), while an infinite chain L cannot be an

LMn-algebra (otherwise L should be subdirectly irreducible by Theorem 1.6,

L, by Corollary 1.9 and this is a contradiction). Therefore the inclusion LMn c K is proper. To say more about this topic we shall investigate the equational classes of K. First we need some further therefore a subalgebra of

concepts.

2.14. Definition (Epstein and Horn [1974a]).

The above characterization is suggested by the axiomatization of a special intuitionistic propositional calculus whose characteristic Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra is a finite chain (Thomas [1962], Becchio [1978b]). In t h e case of a three-element chain such a characterization has been given by Lukasiewicz

In particular for n = 3 we recapture a result of L. Monteiro [1970a]. On

The equational class LM3 (M3) is equivalent to the equational class KJ. Proof. Take

L E KB. Then L is a double Stone algebra by Theorem 9.2.10

in Balbes and Dwinger [1974] and its dual. Also,

L is a subdirect

product of

5 3 by Proposition 2.16 and those chains obviously satisfy the identity z A z+ 5 y V y*, therefore so does L. It follows from Theorems 4.4.4 and 4.4.9 L E LM3. The converse holds by Theorem 2.18.0 chains of cardinalities

2.20. Proposition (Boicescu [1984]).

The following conditions are equivalent for L E D01: (i) L f LM3;

312


(ii) L is a B-algebra satisfying (2.7)

(2

y) V (y

2)

V

(2

=% t ) = 1 .

Proof.

(i) + (ii): If L E LM3 then L E K3 hence L is a B-algebra, while (2.7) follows from Proposition 2.16.

(ii) + (i): Taking z = 1 and t = y in (2.7) and noticing that 1 =% y 5 C z y we obtain (y =$ z ) V ( z + y) = 1, i.e. L is a BL-algebra. So L is a P-algebra, hence L E K3 by Proposition 2.16, therefore L E LM3 by Corollary 2.19. For n

> 3 it

is not known whether the inclusion LMn

K, is strict.

However we can prove that LMn is not an equational class of P-algebras.

Take L, x L, E LMn. The product structure is obviously the unique structure of LMn-algebra which can be defined on L, x L,. It is easy to see that M = {(0,0),(c~,cn-2),(l, 1)) is a K,-subalgebra of L, x L, whereas CPZ(CI, en-2)

$ M.

We now present certain aspects of th e relationship between the equational class LM3 (M3) and certain classes of Heyting algebras. 2.21. Theorem (Iturrioz [1975], [1976c]).

(x + y) V (y** + x) = 1 .

So L is an L-algebra, while (2.8) shows that L is a dual Stone algebra. This is equivalent t o L E K. Thus L is a subdirect product of bounded chains (Epstein and Horn [1974]) and none of them includes L4 = {cg, c1, c 2 , cQ} because L4 fails t o fulfil (2.9): ( c 2 + c1) V (c:* + c2) = c 1 V c 2 = c 2 .

$3. The representation of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras by continuous functions In this section we shall show that every Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebra can

be represented as an algebra of continuous functions defined on a Boolean space. In the finite case Cignoli [1972]gave a representation by means of Post algebras and used it t o obtain a characterization o f the dual of the category of n-valued Post algebras, a characterization of the injective LukasiewiczMoisil algebras and a construction of the free product of Post algebras. The results of this section generalize t h e above mentioned results of Cignoli and are due t o the first and second author. The construction in Theorem 3.6 follows essent ia II y lorgulesc u [1984~).

3.8. Lemma. C T ( X ) is a 6-valued P o s t algebra. Proof. We check condition (iii) in Proposition 4.1.6, via Lemma 3.2 (iii). Let Q E ( C ( C T ( X ) ) ) [ ' . Then Q E (C((Li')x))" and it was shown in the

proof of Corollary 4.1.2 that setting F ( z ) ( i )= Q ( i ) ( x ) ( k ) (Vk E I) yields a function F E (Li')x such that 'piF = Q ( i )(Vi E I ) . Now using the same technique as in Lemma 3.2 and taking into account that Q ( i )E C T ( X ) it 0 is easily proved that F E C T ( X ) . 3.9. Definition. Let L be a d-valued Post algebra. A subalgebra Lo of L in LM29 is said to be a P o s t subalgebra of L provided Lo contains the centres of L. 3.10. Lemma. L e t L be a 6-valued P o s t algebra a n d Lo a subalgebra of L in L M 6 .

(ii) If, moreover, C(L)E Lo t h e n Lo = L . Proof. (i) The centres of Lo satisfy condition (Cl) in Definition 4.1.5, which characterizes the centres of L as well.

(ii) Clearly C ( L )= LO), therefore Lo = L by Proposition 4.2.9 (ii).

3.16. Remark. lorgulescu (1984~1has obtained a generalization of Theorem 3.6 to malgebras. The point is a convenient duality theory for Boolean m-algebras.

PFl(B) is played by a family 3 of prime m-filters of the Boolean m-algebra B such t h a t the intersection of all members of 3 is (1) and every non-zero element of B is contained in a member of 3. The In t h a t theory the role of

corresponding concept of Boolean m-space is defined by the requirements

that every. intersection of a t most m clopen sets be clopen and the lattice of clopen sets include a distinguished prime m-filter. After the construction of this Boolean m-duality, the Boolean m-spectrum of an m-algebra

$4. The representation of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras by Moisil fields of sets The set-theoretical representation Theorems 4.11 and 4.13 are due t o Filipoiu [1979], [1981]; cf. [1981a]. The starting point is the notion of 19structure, similar to a concept which has been used in the theory of Post algebras; cf. Maksimova and Vakarelov [1972]. 4.1. Definition. Suppose I is a dually well-ordered set, i.e. every non-empty subset of I has a last element. A 19-structure is a couple S =

To prove (7.3) suppose i Ij , Y E G ( H L ) and f E (H'pi)-l(Y). Then 'pi I ' p j and f o 'pi = ( H ' p i ) ( f ) E Y . But f E H L is isotone and Y is increasing, hence f o 'pi 5 f o 'p, E Y ,therefore f E (H'pj)-l(Y). Let t : L --t G ( H L ) be the isomorphism in Lemma 2.3.11, i.e. f E t ( z ) H f ( x ) = 1for every x E L and f E H L . If Y = t ( x ) , (7.4) follows from

Proof. We use Proposition 9.6, (9.8) and (1.2.18):

9.8. Lemma. The relation p is a congruence of the algebra ( L ,U, n, N , (PI, Vn-1). Proof. In view of Lemma 9.2 and Proposition 9.6, it remains to verify the substitution property for U and n. This follows readily from Lemma 9.7; e.g. if z p d and ypy'then for k E ( 1 , . - 1) we get

Thus g is well defined. Moreover, g is obviously unique, g E M g ( L i , A ) and g(PkPi(x)) = g(Pi((Pk2)) = f((Pkx) = Y ' k f ( s ) = (Pkg(Pi(x)) (k E

Clearly z,y E L =$ x V y E L and also 1 E L; to prove that L is a De Morgan subalgebra of A it remains to show that x E L + Na: E L. To do this we write (9.12) in several equivalent forms, taking into account Corollary 4.2.19:

where Nbi E C(B['])and Nbzp 2 ... 2 Nbl, so that (9.14) is of the form (9.13), proving that N z E L. To prove (i) we use Definition 4.1.1, so that it remains to verify the uniqueness of the representation (9.12) or equivalently, of (9.13). But (9.13) is expressed by the system of equations xi = (bi A c ) V bzp-i+1 (2 = 1, . . . , p ) in BIZ].Taking into account that c ( 1 ) 5 4 2 ) and c(1) = c(2)(because c = N c ) , we obtain c(1) = 0 and 4 2 ) = 1, therefore q ( l ) = bzp-i+l(l) and 342) = bi(2) V &+j+1(2) = bi(2) because i < 2 p - i 1. Then bZp-i+1(2) = bzp-i+l(l) and bi(1) = b i ( 2 ) because all bk E C(B[']). For (ii) we use (i), Corollary 4.2.8 via Theorem 4.2.17 stating that the axes coincide with the centres, and (9.12):

CHAPTER 7 CATEGORICAL PROPERTIES OF LU KAS IEWICZ-MOIS IL ALGEBRAS

This chapter presents several important properties of the category LMd and provides intrinsic characterizations of certain distinguished objects of

this category.

81. Some adjoint functors In this section we construct some adjoint functors related to the category of Lukasiewicz- MoisiI a Igebras.

1.1. Remark. Although d-algebras cannot in general be defined by equations, some categorical constructions are standard. Since LMd is obviously a category with direct products and subalgebras, the existence o f free d-algebras is ensured (see e.g. Pierce [1968], Theorem 4.1.6). From this we can prove in a standard way that monomorphisms and injective morphisms coincide in LM19 (see e.g. the proof of Theorem 1.20.1 in Balbes and Dwinger [1974]).

1.2. Notation. Let

(1.1)

C

:

LMd + B

be the functor defined by

C(L)= {z

E

L I cpix = 2, i E I} and C(f)=

f l q ~for) f E LMd(L, L'). Let (1.2)

T : B +LM19

be the functor defined as follows: T ( B ) = B[q and for g E B(B,B'),

T ( g ) : T ( B )+ T(B')is the mapping defined by T ( g ) ( u )= g u E T(B).

1.3. Definition. Let P6 be the full subcategory of LM6 having as objects the &valued Post algebras (6. Remark 4.1.13). Let T : B -+ P6 be the functor for which T ( B )and T ( g ) are constructed in Definition 1.2. 1.4. Remark.

We recall that for every L E LM6 and B E B we have constructed the monomorphism (4.1.3), i.e. (1.3)

RB(u)= ~ ( i )(Vi E I).

Proposition 1.5 and Corollary 1.6 below are due t o Georgescu and Vraciu

[1970]. 1.5. Proposition. The functor T i s a Tight adjoint of C . Proof. We apply Definition 1.6.1 to the functors (1.1) and (1.2). For any

L E LM6 (1.5) (1.6)

and

B E B let

for any s E B ( C ( L ) , B ).

One can prove that the maps y(L, B ) and 6(L,9)are natural in

L

and

B. We shall prove that 6 is the inverse of y. Let s E B(C(L),B) and 6. = S(s) : L + T(B). By definition, 6,(z) = T(s)(PL(z)) = s o PL(s), hence 6 , ( ~ ) ( i = ) s(P~(z)(i))= s ( ' p g ) , for any z E L and i E I. For every z E C(L)we have the equivalences:

Proof. Let us consider in LM29 the monomorphisms L L’, L 5 L”. By Lemma 1.16, there exist in B two monomorphisms hl : C(L’) --t B , h2 : C(L”)+ B such that hl o C(f)= h2 o C ( g ) . In LM29 we have the commutative diagram in Fig. 1.2.

1.20 any rnorphism of d-pre-algebras f : L -+ L' induces a unique morphism of &algebras f : L / -4 L'/ such t h a t f o X ~= A,yof. The assignment L H L / -, f H f yields a covariant functor from the category of d-pre-algbras t o LMd. Thus LM29 is a reflective subcategory of the category of 8-pre-algebras; cf. e.g. Balbes and Dwinger [1974],Theorem 1.18.2. By Proposition

1.24, Definition (Boicescu [1984]; cf. Pierce [1968]). A free LMN6-eztension of an algebra L E LM6 is a pair (A,f), where A E LMN6 and f E LM6(L,A), such that for every g E LM6(L,B), B E LMNQ, there is a unique h E LMNd(A,B) such that h o f = g. 1.25. Proposition (Boicescu [1984]). Suppose the set I is endowed with an antitone involution d. Every algebra L E LM6 has a free LMN6-eztension (U(L),PL),unique up to an isomorphism. Proof.

Let PL be t h e LM6-morphism given by (1.3) and U ( L ) the De

Morgan subalgebra of T ( C ( L ) )generated by PL(L).

1) Using distributivity and th e identities f ( u l ) A ... A f(u,) = f ( u l A ...A u,) and N f ( b l ) A ...A N f ( b , ) = N f ( b l V ...Vb,), it follows that the elements of

U ( L ) are of th e form

2) Let B E LMN6 and g E LMd(L,B). Using Remark 1.22 we obtain


367

3) It follows from 1) and 2) with B = U ( L ) and g = PL that z E A implies

therefore U ( L )E LMN29. 4) Let (1.12) and

be two representations of z E U ( L ) . Then

by (1.14), hence P

m

by the injectivity of

for all

PL and from (1.13) and (1.16) we get

i E I,therefore


368

5) According t o 4) we can define

and it is straightforward t o check that h E LMNd(A,B), h o

PL = g

and h is unique with these properties.

6) To prove the uniqueness of (U(L),PL)suppose (B,g)is another free LMNO-extension of L. Then we obtain the morphisms h, h’ such that h o PL = g and h’ o g = PL. It follows that h‘ o h o PL = PL and since l u ( ~ o) Pt = Pt,the uniqueness of the homomorphic extension of PL : L + U ( L ) implies h‘ o h = lqL). Similarly h o h’ = lg,therefore h is an isomorphism. 0 1.26.Corollary. FOT every L,L’ E LMI9 and f E LM.S(L,L’) t h e w is a unique U ( f ) E LMN29(U(L), U(L‘)) such that (1.19)

PL‘ 0 f = U ( f ) 0 PL

1.27. Notation. Let U : LMI9 + LMN6 be the functor for which the assignments L H U ( L ) and f H U ( f ) are those constructed in Proposition 1.25 and Corollary 1.26,respectively. 1.28. ProDosition. T h e reflector U is faithful and preserves and reflects monomorphisms and epimorphisms. Proof. If U ( f ) = U ( g ) for f , g : L + L’ then

PL’ 0 f = U ( f ) 0 PL = U(g)0 f = g by the injectivity of PL,. Further apply the functor C t o (1.19):

therefore

PL = PL’ 0 g


369

C ( U ( L ) ) = PL(C(L)) = C ( P L ) ~ ( L ) ) , hence C ( P L ) : C ( L ) + C ( U ( L ) ) and C ( P L ~ ): C(L')+ C U(L')) are isomorphisms. Therfeore (1.20) implies that C ( U ( f ) ) is a monomorphisrn (epimorphism) if and only if C ( f )is a monomorphism (epimorphism). and note that (1.14) implies

The proof is completed by Remark 1.9. 1.29. Notation Let LMn' denote th e full subcategory of LMn having as objects the prealgebras L satisfying 'pox 5 x

Injective LM-algebras and injective hulls

371

$2. Injective Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras and injective hulls In this section we shall characterize the injective objects and the injective hulls in the categories of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras and of axled Moisil algebra; cf. Definitions 1.6.27, 1.6.33, 1.6.8 and 1.6.5. The characterization of the injective objects in a category is a general problem. In order to find the injective Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras we need two results in Boolean algebras: 2.1. Proposition (Sikorski [1948], [1964] and Halmos [1963]). A Boolean algebra is injective iff it is complete.

2.2. Proposition (Banaschewski and Bruns [1968]). T h e MacNeille completion B of a Boolean algebra B i s a n essential extension of B . 2.3. Proposition.

FOTany L E LM6 the following assertions are equivalent: (i) L is a n injective object ofLM6; (ii) L is a retract of any of its extensions; (iii) L has n o proper essential extensions; (iv)

L is a 8-valued Post algebra and C(L)as complete;

(v)

L is a 9-valued complete Post algebra.

Comment. For 19 = 3, the equivalence (i) H (v) was given in L. Monteiro [1965]. For finite 9, the previous theorem was obtained independently by Cignoli [1969a], [1972] and by Georgescu and Vraciu [1970]; cf. Cignoli [1969a]. Another proof can be found in Boicescu and Georgescu [1970]. For some extensions see L. Monteiro [1970b], Badele and Boicescu [1969] and Boicescu [1979].

(i) + (ii): By Remark 1.6.29.b. (iii): Let f : L + L' be an essential extension of L. By (ii), (ii) there exists g : L' 4 L such that g o f = 1 ~But . g o f o g = g o l L f r and g is a monomorphism, hence f o g = l,y, therefore f is an isomorphism. (iii) + (iv): Let Q be the MacNeille completion of the Boolean algebra C ( L )and g : C ( L ) + Q the canonical embedding. T preserves monomorphisms, hence L % T ( C ( L ) ) T(s! T(Q)is a monomorphism in LM6. We shall prove t h a t T ( g ) o PL is essential in LM6. Consider a morphism

and since C preserves monomorphisms, C(f) oRg' o g is a monomorphism of

B. But g is essential, therefore C(f) o R i l

For L E LMQ consider the MacNeille completion Q of the Boolean algebra C ( L )and the canonical embedding f : C(L)+ Q . Then T ( Q )is injective in LM29 (because TRQ o PT(Q = ~ T ( Q by ) Proposition 1.6.23) and the morphism

L

3 T(C(L)) 2 T(Q)

is a monornorphism of LM6. This ensures that any

19- valued Lukasiewicz-

376


Moisil algebra may be embedded in an injective object of LM6. 2.6. Notation.

Let AMn be the category having as objects the axled Moisil algebras and as morphisms those LMn-homomorphisms that preserve the axes. 2.7. Remark. Any LMn-homomorphism between two axled algebras is necessarily a De Morgan homomorphism in view of Theorem 4.2.10 and formula (4.2.9).

2.8. Lemma. Lz is injective in AMn. Proof. Take a rnonornorphism f : A + B and a rnorphisrn g : A + Lz in

AMn. Let e : LZ --t L, be the inclusion mapping. Inasmuch as L, is injective in LMn by Corollary 4.1.10 and Proposition 2.3, there is h : B --t L, in LMn such t h a t h o f = e o g ; cf. Fig. 2.5. Moreover, in view of

B + L2 by h’(z) = h ( z ) (Vz E B ) and it 0 follows t h a t h’ is a morphism in AMn such that h‘ o f = g . Therefore we can define h’ :

2.9. Lemma. L, is injective in AMn. Proof. Let f : A + B be a monomorphism and g : A + L, a morphism

L, is injective in LMn by Proposition 2.3, there is a morphism h : B --f L, in LMn such that h o f = g. But f and g preserve the constants of the Post algebras, therefore so does h, i.e. h E Pn(B, L,). 0 in AMn. Since

An algebra L E AMn is injective if and only if it is complete.

A x B for some A E Pn and B E B. In view of Corollary 6.1.11 there is an embedding el : A + LE in Pn and an embedding e2 : B + Lf in B = P2. But el and e2 preserve the constants of the Post algebras (0 for B ) by Remark 4.1.13. Since the axes of A x B are (cj,O), where c j are the centers of A (6. the proof of Theorem 4.2.26), it follows that el x e2 : A x B + L’ = L: x Lg is a monomorphism in AMn. Thus we obtain an extension e : L + L’ of L in AMn. Besides L’ is a direct product of complete lattices, therefore it is Proof. First we apply Theorem 4.2.26:

L

complete.

If

L

is injective then it is a retract of

L‘

by Remark 1.6.29.b and since

L’ is complete this implies easily that L is complete (see e.g. Balbes and Dwinger [1974], Lemma 5.9.1). Conversely, suppose L is complete. Then A and B are complete, therefore they are injective by Proposition 2.4, hence they are retracts of el and e2, respectively, again by Remark 1.6.29.b. Let

fl be the Pn-morphism such that fi o el = 1~and f2 the B-morphism such that f2 o e2 = lg. Then f = fl x f2 : L’ + A x B is an AMn-morphism . shows that L is a retract of L‘ in AMn. But such t h a t e o f = l A x ~ This L’ is injective in AMn by Lemmas 2.8, 2.9 and Remark 1.6.29.c, therefore 0 L is injective by Remark 1.6.29.a.

2.11. Proposition. FOT a n y L E L M d , the canonical m o r p h i s m PL : L + T ( C ( L ) ) i s a n essential extension. Proof. Let us consider a morphism f : T ( C ( L ) )--+ L' of LM29 such that

f OPLis a monomorphism. Suppose t h a t f ( u ) = f ( v ) with u , v E T ( C ( L ) ) , hence f(cp;u) = cpjf(u) = cpjf(v) = f(cpiv) for any i f I. We remark that p L ( u ( i ) ) ( j ) = ( ~ j ( ~ ( i )=) ~ ( i=) v i ( u > ( j ) l j E 1,SO ~ " ( " ( i )=) ~ i ( u ) for any i E I; analogously, P~(v(i)) = cpi(v), i E I . Then we get

f ( P L ( u ( i ) ) ) = f(rpju) = f(cpiv) = f ( P L ( v ( i ) ) ) , hence u ( i ) = v(i) for I7 any i E I , so u = v and f is injective. 2.12. Proposition (Georgescu and Vraciu (19701).

Suppose L E LMd and let assertions are equivalent: (i) E as isomorphic t o

(iii) E is a n injective extension of L not including properly a n y injective extension of L ; (iv) E is a n essential extension of L n o t included properly in a n y es-

L.

(ii) =+ (iii): Let i : L --t E be an injective hull, cf. Definition 1.6.30. Let j : L --t E' be an injective extension of L , included in i , i.e. there is a monomorphism f : E' + E such t h a t i = f o j; cf. Definition 1.6.8. Since E' is injective there is a morphism g : E --t E' such that g o i = j . Then g o i is a monomorphism and since i is an essential

L + T(Q)be th e canonical embedding, where Q is the MacNeille completion of C(L).Also, let i : L + E be the monomorphism which defines E as an extension of L. Since E is injective there is a morphism g : T(Q)+ E such that g o f = i. But T(Q)is an injective essential extension because (i) =+(ii), therefore the inclusion g is not proper by hypothesis, i.e. g is an isomorphism. Thus E E T(Q)is an essential extension. If E' is another essential extension of L and if there is a rnonomorphism E + El, then it may be easily checked that E' is an essential extension of E. Since E is injective it follows by Proposition 2.3 t h a t E and E' are

$3. Free Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras One of the most important applications of the Moisil representation theorem of the n-valued LM-algebras and Moisil algebras is the construction of

the free algebras with c generators, where c is a finite cardinal. In the sequel we follow closely Cignoli [ 1969a1, [ 19751. Note first the following property of the general concept of free algebra.

Epimorphisms and projective LM-algebras

54. Epimorphisms and projective Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras In this section we describe the epimorphisms and the projective algebras in the categories Pn and

LM19 and obtain several related results.

4.1. Lemma.

Let f : L + L' be a m o r p h i s m of axled ( P o s t ) n-algebras. If C(f) is surjective t h e n f is surjective. Proof. Every x' E L' is represented in the form (4.2.4), i.e.

x' = V(b{A a:),

where b: E C(L') and u: are the axes of L'. But 6: = f ( b i ) for some

bi E C ( L ) and a: = f ( a i ) where a; are the axes of L, therefore x' = f(x) 0 where x = V ( b i A Ui). 4.2. Proposition [Georgescu and Vraciu [1969e], Georgescu [1970a]).

T h e following conditions are equivalent for a m o r p h i s m f E Pn(L,L'):

(i)

f is a n epimorphism;

(ii) C(f) is a n epimorphism;

(iii) C(f) is a surjection; (iv) f is a surjection. Proof.

4.3. Proposition.

It followsfrom Lemma 4.1 that C ( h )is not surjective, whence Proposition 4.2 implies that C ( h ) is not an epimorphism in B. Take B E B and u , v E B(C(L‘),B) such that u # v and u o C ( h ) = v o C ( h ) . Now t a k e 2 E C(L’) such t h a t u(x)# ~ ( z ) Then . there is a prime filter F of B such that u ( z ) E F and v(x) @ F or conversely. Further let k E B(B,L2) be the characteristic function of F. Then f = k o u # k o v = g U

L, E P n and C(L,) = L2, Proposition 4.1.6 implies the existence of f ’ , g ‘ E LMn(L’,L,) such that C ( f ’ ) = f and C(g‘) = g. Then f’ # g’ and C(f’ o h ) = C(g’ o h ) , which implies f’ o h = g’ o h by Corollary 1.6. See Fig. 4.1. The last point is t o prove that f’ and g‘ are morphisms in AMn. The axes of L and L’ fulfil h(ai) = a:, therefore f’(a:) = g’(a:) = a;” (i = 1,...,n - 2). Now we apply Theorem 4.2.16: t h e axes a; satisfy (4.2.15) for a certain a’ E C(L‘) in the role of a , therefore a;” satisfy (4.2.15) for a” = f‘(a’) E C(L,) = L2. Thus either but f o C ( h ) = g o C ( h ) . Since

4.6. Remark. More generally, every injective epimorphism f in Pt9 is a surjection (because

C(f) is an epimorphism by Corollary 1.10 hence a surjection therefore an isomorphism, which implies that f is an isomorphism again by Corollary 1.10). 4.7. Remark.

The concept of weakly projective algebra is obtained from the classical concept of projective algebra (Definition 1.6.28) by replacing epimorphisms by

392


surjective morphisms (6. Balbes and Dwinger [1974], Definition 1.20.13). This definition makes sense because non-surjective epimorphisms do exist in certain classes of algebras (e.g. in L M 6 , as we shall see below). We shall need the following result: in an equational category an algebra is weakly projective if and only if it is a retract of a free algebra (ibid, Theorem 1.20.14). 4.8. Corollary. A n algebra of Pn (of AMn) is projective if and only if it is a retract of a free algebra of Pn (of AMn). Proof. By Theorem 1.20.14 in Balbes and Dwinger I19741, taking into account that in our case weak projectivity is equivalent to projectivity by Prop0 osition 4.2 (4.3). 4.9. Corollary. If L E P n then:

(i) L is projective if and only i f C ( L ) is projective in B; (ii) If L is finite then L is projective. Proof.

(i) By Corollary 1.10. (ii) By (i) and Corollary 5.7.6 in Balbes and Dwinger [1974].

4.15. Proposition.

The following conditions are equivalent f o r a n algebra L E LM8 (i) L is projective in LM8; (ii) L E

B and is projective in B;

(iii) L E B and is a retract of a free Boolean algebra. Proof.

(i) + (ii): L E B by Lemma 4.14. Then clearly L is projective in B, via the remark t h a t every epimorphism of B, being surjective, is an epimorphism of LM8, too.

(ii) H (iii): Well known (e.g. Halmos [1963], Corollary 31.2). (ii) + (i): Let f : L’ --t L” be an epimorphism and g : L --f L” a morphism in LM6. Then C(f) : C(L’) --t C(L”) is an epimorphism in B, g(L) E B and g : L -+ g(L) is a morphism in B. Therefore there is a Boolean morphism h : L + C(L’) such that f ( h ( z ) ) = g ( x ) for every 0 z E L , where h : L --+ L’ is a morphism in LM8. 4.16. Lemma.

Let n E {2,3} and p , q E LV satisfy 0 < p 5 q. Then LP, is a retract of L; . Proof. The map i : L2 + Li-p+’ defined by i(co) = 0 and i ( c l ) = 1, is a monomorphism. Define a monomorphism j

j = i x 1,-1 where 1,-’ is the identity of L;-’, according as p = 1or p

Since Li is injective by Proposition 2.3, it follows from Remark 1.6.29.b that

L; is a retract of Li. For n = 3 the proof is similar, with i(cg) = 0, i(c2) = 1 and i ( c l ) = c, 0 the center of Li-p+’ E P3.

4.17. Corollary. The finite projective algebras in LM9 are the finite Boolean algebras, i. e. the algebras of the form Lg, p E lV - (0). Proof. Finite Boolean algebras coincide with the algebras Lg e.g. by Corollary 6.1.18. Now Proposition 4.15 implies that every finite projective algebra in LM9 is a finite Boolean algebra and every algebra L;, being a retract of

L? by Lemma 4.16, is projective in LMO.

4.18. Proposition (Boicescu [1986a]). The following conditions are equivalent for a finite algebra L E M3 or L E M4:

(i) L is weakly projective; (ii) L2 is a direct factor of L ; (iii) S ( L ) # (1). Proof for M3 (for M4 the proof is similar). (i) (ii): If (ii) fails then it follows from Corollary 6.1.18 that L is of

+

the form L = L;, p E N .Take the surjective morphism x1 : LP, x L2 + LP, and the morphism 1 : L3p -+ L;. Let h : L3p + L3p x L2 be a morphism such that ?rl o h = 1. If c is the center of Lz E P3 then c = N c by Corollary 4.2.19, therefore h(c) = N h ( c ) , which is impossible in L; x Lz. (ii) (iii): By Proposition 6.2.12. (ii) (i):According to Corollary 6.1.19, L is of the form L = Lp x L!, where rn > 0 and p 1 0. If p = 0 then L is projective by Corollary 4.17, hence weakly projective. If p > 0 take c E llV such that rn 5 2c and q 5 3' - 2". Then it follows from Lemma 4.16 and Theorem 3.10 that L is a retract of the free algebra Lie x LgC-2e= FM,(c),therefore L is weakly 0 projective by Theorem 1.20.14 in Balbes and Dwinger [1974].

$6. Free Post and m-Post extensions In this section we construct free extensions of n-valued algebras and of compl etely ch rysi p pia n 6-va Iued a Igebras.

6.1. Definition. a) Let: -r be a type o f algebras, A a .r-algebra and C a category of .r-algebras

(6. Definition 1.6.2). A free C-eztension of A is a pair (B,f) where

(i)

B E C,

(ii) f : A + B is an injective .r-morphism,

(iii) f(A)

E A,

(iv) f(A) generates (v)

for every

B and

C E C

and every .r-morphism g

h E C ( B , C )such th a t h

o

:

A + C there is

f = 9.

b) Let: D be a subcategory of DO1 or more generally a category of distributive bounded lattices, m an infinite cardinal number and C = mD a subcategory of m-complete objects of D and m-complete D-morphisms between them. T h e concept o f free mD regular estension is obtained f r o m Definition 6.1.a applied to mD by requiring t h a t f,g (and necessarily h ) be m-complete. W e are interested here in th e cases D = B and D = LMn and we shall use the words Boolean and Post instead of B and Pn, respectively. T he free m-Boolean extensions (regular extensions) of Boolean algebras were constructed independently by Yaqub [1962] and Sikorski [1963], cf. [1964]. T h e above general definition 6.1.a is a slight modification of a concept due to Pierce [1968].

6.2. Remarks. a) T h e morphism h constructed i n Definition 6.1.a (v) is unique in view o f (iv) and h I f(A) = g.

411

n e e Post and m-Post extensions

/3) Let (vi) be the variant of (v) requiring uniqueness of h. If C is closed with respect t o subalgebras then in Definition 6.1.a one can replace (iv) and (v) by (vi).

Suppose (vi).

This implies easily that

f o satisfies

Definition 6.1.a. therefore satisfies (vi) as noted in the above remark a. Now a standard argument shows that

fo

B (see e.g. Pierce (19681.

Proposition 4.1.2). The converse holds by a).

y) Since LMN6 (Mn) is a full subcategory of LMO (LMn) by (3.1.52), whenever it is true that every algebra L E LMd (LMn) has a certain type of free extension, it follows that every algebra L E LMNd (Mn) has that type of free extension.

6 ) Since P29 is a full subcategory of LMd by Remark 4.1.13, the problem of looking for free Post extensions of LM29 algebras makes sense.

6.3. Theorem. Every algebra L E LMn (or L E Mn) has a free Post extension. Proof. Take

(TC(L),PL).Property (iv) in Definition 6.1.a follows from the

representation

of t he elements of

T C ( L )given in Remark 4.1.15, while (v) holds by Corol-

lary 1.11.

Other constructions of the free Post extension were given by Cignoli

[1972](6. Theorem 6.3.15) and Balbes and Dwinger [1974]. 6.4. Lemma.

Suppose that L E LMIJ LIE P6. Then: a) Every h E

B(C(L),C(L')) has a unique estension g E LMS(L, L')


412

b) g satisfies

(ii) the dual property. Proof.

V

The morphism g was constructed in Proposition 4.1.6: g ( z ) = (h(cp;z)A q). It follows from the representation 4.1 (T4) of g ( z )

iEI

that g is unique. To show (i) recall that y i g ( x ) = h(cpiz), as was noted in

the proof of Proposition 4.1.6, (iii)

It follows that for every i E I ,

6.5. Corollary.

If h is m-complete (complete) then g is m-complete (complete). 6.6. Corollary. If L E LMn (or L E Mn) and L’ E P n then every m-complete (complete) morphism h E B(C(L),C(L’)) has a unique m-complete (complete) extension g E LMn(L, 1;’). Proof. By Corollary 6.5 and Theorem 4.5.12.

A particular case of Corollary 6.6 was obtained by Cignoli [1984]. The next result is a generalization of the Rasiowa-Sikorski Lemma 1.3.32, 6.7. Corollary (Cignoli [1984]). Suppose L E LMn, card L > 1, a E L and let X,, Y, G L such that in€Xn and supY, exist (Vn E nV). The necessary and suficient condition for

the existence of a morphism g : L 4 Ln preserving all inf X n and sup Y, and such that g ( a ) = 1 is cpla # 0 . Proof. If g ( a ) = 1 then g(cp1a) = cplg(a) = 1.

To prove sufficiency set a, = inf X , , bn = supY, (Vn E N ) and apply Lemma 1.3.32, via Proposition 1.3.9, t o the element cpla and the countable families of subsets Xni = { c p i ~I x E Xn} and Yni = {ViY I y E Y n } of C ( L ) : there is h E B(C(L), L2) such that h(cpla) = 1 and

h(cpian) = 1 H h(cpi~) =1

(VV~X E X,i)

h(cpia,) = A { h ( c p i X ) 1 z E X n } and also h(cpibn) = V {h(cp;y) I y E Y n } . Further apply Lemma 6.4 via Theorem 4.5.12 t o L, L, and h: there is g E LMn(L,Ln) such that g(an) = A{g(x) 13 E X,} and g(b,) = i.e.

6.8. Theorem. Every algebra L E LMn (or L E Mn) has a free m-Post extension. Proof. Let (Bm,fm) be the free m-Boolean extensions of

C ( L ) ;we will

( T ( B m ) , T ( f mo) PL)is the required extension. Taking into account that (TC(L),P') and ( B m , f mare ) free extensions and T(B,) is prove that

m-complete by Proposition 4.6.5, we see that conditions (i)-(iii) in Definition

6.1.a are verified. Thus it remains t o prove (vi); cf. Remark 6.2.p.

Let L' E Pn be m-complete and g E LMn(L, L'). According t o Theorem

6.3 there is a unique h E Pn(TC(L),L') such that h o PL = g. But


414

C ( h ) E B(C(L),C(L‘)) hence there is a unique m-complete morphism k E B(B,, C(L‘)) such that k o fm = C(h). Further Corollary 6.5 yields an m-complete extension g E LMn(T(B,), L’) of k,such that cpig(s)= k(cp;z) (cf. Fig. 6.1). Taking also into account Definition 1.2 we obtain, for a E TC(L) and i E I,

vig(T(fm)(a)) = =

which proves that tj o

k ( ~ i ( f m0

a ) ) = cpi(k(.m(a>))

cpi(C(h)(4)= V i ( W )

T(f,) = h.

=

From this and h o PL = g we get

g o T(fm) o PL = g . If g’ E LMn(T(B,), L’) satisfies g’ o T(fm) o PL = g then g’ o T(fm) = h , hence C ( g ’ ) o fm = C ( h ) ,therefore C ( g ‘ ) = k whence

g’ = g.

6.9. Remark.

L E LM6 (or L E LMN6) then for every m-complete algebra L‘ E P6 and every morphism g E LM6(L,Lt) there is a unique m-complete morphism g E LM6(T(Bm),L’) such that One can prove in a similar way that if

T(fm)0 PL = 9 .

6.10. Theorem. E v e r y algebra L E LMn (or L E Mn) has a free m - P o s t regular extension. Proof. Similar to the proof of Theorem 6.8. The required extension will be

(T(B&), T(fk)o PL),where (I?&,f:) is t h e free m-Boolean regular extension of C(L). The morphism PL is complete by Proposition 4.5.11 and Theorem 4.5.12, therefore h is m-complete, while the m-completeness of fk implies obviously t h a t T(fG)is m-complete. Therefore T(fA)o Pr, is m-complete.

LMn(L,L’) t o be m-complete. Then C ( g ) is mcomplete and since C(PL) : C(L) --f CTC(L) is an isomorphism, it follows that C ( h ) = C ( g ) o (C(PL))-’ is m-complete. Therefore we can apply Now suppose g E

6.11. Remark.

The above construction of the m-complete extension 3 of the m-complete morphism g can be carried out for completely chrysippian algebras L E L M 6 . 6.12. Corollary.

For every cardinal m, the category mPn is a reflective subcategory of each of the categories L M n , M n , the category of L M n - algebras (Mn-algebras) and m-complete morphisms. Similar constructions can be done when m-completeness is replaced by completeness. Thus Day [1965] has shown that for every Boolean algebra A, there is a free complete-Boolean extension of A if and only if A is superatomic. Using this fact and Corollary 4.5.24 one obtains the following result.

6.13. Proposition. Let L E L M n (or L E M n ) . T h e n L has a free complete-Post eztension if and only if L is superatomic. For every Boolean algebra A there is a free complete-Boolean regular extension of A,namely i t s MacNeille completion. 6.14. Corollary (Georgescu [1971d]).

CHAPTER 8 MONADIC AND POLYADIC LUKASIEWICZ-MOlSlL ALGEBRAS

The monadic d-algebras and the polyadic d-algebras reflect algebraically the properties of the d-valued predicate logic in the same way as the monadic Boolean algebras and the polyadic Boolean algebras are algebraic structures imposed by the study of the classical predicate calculus. This chapter is concerned with the basic properties of the monadic dalgebras and polyadic d-algebras. Most results presented here are natural generalizations of those given in the Boolean case. We do not include some important results in the theory of monadic and polyadic d-algebras (see e.g.

the L. Monteiro theorem on the structure of finite free 3-valued Moisil algebras, the duality theory of monadic d-algebras etc.; cf. Georgescu [1971e],

L. Monteiro [1974]). $1. Monadic Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras In this section we present some basic concepts and results on monadic Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras. The main result is the representation theorem 1.20, which extends the Halmos representation theorem for monadic Boolean algebras. The content of this section is taken from Georgescu [1971e] and

L. Monteiro [1974]. 1.1. Definition. Let L be a &valued Lukasiewiu-MoisiI algebra. An existential quantifier on L is a function 3 : L + L such that, for every z,y E L , t h e following axioms hold:

An 3-monadic 8-valued Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebra or an 38-algebra is a pair

( L ,3), where L is a &algebra and 3 is an existential quantifier on L .

1.2. Definition. Let ( L ,3), (L', 3) be two 38-algebras. A morphism of 38-algebras f : ( L ,3) -+ (L',3) is a morphism of 8-algebras f : L --f L' such t h a t f3 = 3f. The category of 38-algebras will be denoted by 3LM8. 1.3. Definition. A universat quantifier on a 8-algebra L is a function V : L + L having the following properties:

V l = 1;

A V-monadic 8-valued Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebra or a V8-algebra is a pair (L,V), where L is a 8-algebra and V is a universal quantifier on L. We shall denote by VLMO the category o f V8-algebras.

1.4.Definition. An 3V-monadic 8-valued Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebra or an 3v8-algebra is

a triple ( L ,3,V), where ( L ,3) is an Walgebra, (L,V) is a V8-algebra and

(1.9)

Vx = 3a:, for every x E C(L).

The category of 3V8-algebras will be denoted by

3VLM23.

419

Monadic Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras 1.5. Remarks.

(a) Let L be a d-algebra with negation and let 3 be an existential quantifier

on

L.

Then V = N 3 N is a universal quantifier on

of 3 and (L,3,V) is an 3Vd-algebra.

L , termed the dual The structure ( L ,3,V) of this type

will be called a monadic d-algebra with negation and their category will

be denoted by Mond.

(b) Let L be a d-algebra and 3 : L --t L, V : L --t L be two functions which satisfy (1.4), (1.8) and (1.9). Using the determination principle we can prove that ( L , 3 ) is an 39-algebra iff (L,V) is a VTJ- algebra. (c) Let (L,3,V), (L’,3,V)

f

L’ be a morphism of d-algebras. Then f is a morphism of 32’1-algebras iff f is a be two 3Vd-algebras and

: L -+

morphism of Vd-algebras.

1.6. Example. l e t L be a complete d-algebra and

and x E

X be a non-empty set. For each p E Lx

X we denote:

In this way we obtain the functions 3 : Lx + Lx and V : Lx +

Lx.

If L is also completely chrysippian, then 3 is an existential quantifier on Lx and V is a universal quantifier on Lx. We shall verify only the axioms (1.7) and (1.8). Using Proposition 4.5.9, we have for every p , q E

Lx and y

EX

:

Monadic and polyadic Lukssiewicz-Moisil algebras

420

Since L is completely chrysippian, we have for every p

E Lx,y E X and

i E I that

Consequently, ( L x , 3 ) is an 319-algebra and ( L x , V ) is a Vd-algebra. Since

C ( L x ) = ( C L ) x ,it is easy t o prove t h a t ( L x ,3,V) is an 3Vd-algebra. If L is a &algebra with negation, then (Lx,3,V) is an object of Mond. An 36-sublagebra of ( L x , 3 ) will be called a functional L-valued 329-

algebra. We define similarly the functional L-valued Vd-algebras and the functional L-valued 3Vd -algebras.

1.7. Proposition. In every 329-aZgebra ( L ,3 ) the following properties hold: (1.11)

31 = 1 ;

(1.12)

33 = 3 ;

(1.13)

(1.11)-(1.14) follow by definitions; 5 E C ( L ) implies (pi32= 3y;z = 32,for every i E I , thus (1.15) holds. By (1.15) C ( L ) is a monadic Boolean algebra. Hence, for every i E I,we can write: Proof.

Then, by the principle of determination 3(z V y) = 32 V

holds. From pi32 A cpi3z = 0 it follows, for every j E

and therefore cpj3pi3x I qjcpi3x = cpjpi3x. By the determination principle we obtain that

3pi32 5 @32. The converse inequality follows by (1.2),

thus (1.17) holds.

1.8. Remarks. (a) In every Vd-algebra

(L,b') the properties 3V - dual t o (1.11)-(1.17) hold,

where duality preserves

5 and:

(b) It follows from (1.4) t h a t in every 329-algebra 3(C(L)) = C ( 3 ( L ) ) . (c) Properties (1.2), (1.12) and (1.14) show that every existential quantifier is a closure operator. Proposition 1.9 below is an analogue of Remark

1.1.15 for existential quantifiers. 1.9. Proposition (lorgulescu [1984c]).

(A) A subset M of an algebra L E LMd is of the form M = 3(L), where 3 is an existential quantifier, if and only if the following conditions hold:

(i) M is a Moore family on L ; (ii) M is a 6-subalgebra of L ; (iii)

(6) When this is the case, 3 is uniquely determined b y 3x = A { z E

M Ix 5 z } . Proof. Let 3 be an existential quantifier on

L and M = 3(L). Then Remark

1.1.15 implies (i) and (B), hence (iii) is a mere translation of (1.4). To prove


422

(ii) we use (1.13),which shows that 0 E 3(L) by (1.1) and 1 E 3 ( L ) by (l.ll), while if x , y E 3 ( L ) then x A y E 3 ( L ) and x V y E 3 ( L )follow from

(1.3)and (1.16),respectively. Conversely, suppose (i)-(iii) hold and define 3 by (B). Then

(1.1) follows

from (ii) and

(1.4) from (iii), while 3 is a closure operator by (i), therefore (1.2)also holds. Property (1.3) is satisfied for x , y E 3 ( L ) because x A y E 3 ( L ) implies 3 ( x A 3 y ) = 3 ( x A y) = x A y = 3x A 3y. This implies further that (1.3)holds for arbitrary 2,y E L because v i 3 ( A ~3y) = 0 3(CpiX A 3p;y) = 3viX A Ycpiy = ( p i ( 3A~ 39) for all i E I. 1.10. Proposition. In every 3Vt9-abgebra ( L ,3, V ) , the following equalities hold: (1.18)

3v=v; v 3 = 3 ;

(1.19)

V ( L )= 3 ( L ) ;

hence by the determination principle 3V = V . Similarly El = 3.

The equality (1.19)is obtained from (1.13),its dual and (1.18). For each x E L and i E I , V@Vx = CpiVx (by t h e dual of (1.17)), therefore CpiVx E V ( L )= 3 ( L ) . Thus 3CpiV~= CpiVx and, similarly, Vqi3 = Cpi3. 0

1.11. Proposition. If ( L ,3,V) is a monadic 9-algebru with negation, then 3(L) = V ( L ) is a 9-subalgebra (with negation) of L. Proof. We shall prove that x E 3 ( L ) implies N x E 3(L). Indeed, if 3x = x , then, for every

i E I,we have:

It follows t h a t 3Nx = N x , hence N z E 3(L).

1.12. Remarks. Let (L,3) b e an 3d-algebra and M be a 6-ideal of L. M is called a monadic 9-ideal if x E M + 3s E M. Let us consider t h e d-congruence associated w i t h the 9-ideal M, i.e. the 6-congruence generated by =:

Then

is a congruence of the M-algebra

a V x = a V y, a E M + 3 a V

( L , 3 ) ,since

3x = 3 a V 3y, 3a E M .

Then the quotient d-algebra L/M has a canonical structure o f 319-algebra. B y duality if (L,V) is an Vd-algebra and F is a d-filter of L, then F will be called a monadic 19-filter if x E F

Then the d-congruence associated with M is a congruence of the 3Vd-algebra (L,3,\s?. A dual result holds for the monadic 19-filters of (L,V). Proof. It suffices to show t h a t xsy(modM)+Vx-Vy(modM).

If x V a = y V a , a E M , then x V 3a = y V 3a, 3a E M; by (1.18),(1.7) we have

therefore Vx 3Vd-algebra.

Hence, L/M has a canonical structure of 0

If (L,3,V) is in Monz9 and M is a monadic &ideal of (L,3), then L/M is also in Mon9.

This proves that there exists an isotone bijection between the monadic &ideals of

The previous results can be dualized to monadic &filters in an Vd-algebra. 1.21. Remark.

If ( L ,3) is an jd-algebra, then ( C ( L ) ,3) is a monadic Boolean algebra; if

f : ( L , 3 ) + (L',3) is a morphism of %-algebras, then C(f) : C(L)+ C(L')is a morphism of monadic Boolean algebras. Thus we obtain a functor from 3LMd to M o n B denoted by Cg,where M o n B stands for the category of monadic Boolean algebras. Similarly, we define the functors

C~V : 3mM19+ M o n B

1.22. Remark. Let ( B , 3 ) be a monadic Boolean algebra. Let us consider the d-algebra B[q. For every f E B[q, let 3f : I + B be the map defined by ( 3 f ) ( i )= 3 f ( i ) , for each i E I . We can prove that 3f E B[q and the

The function Q ( a ) ( x )is isotone, hence (1.21) defines a map

which verifies th e following axioms:

PO = 0 ;

(2.2)

An interior operator on L is a dual modal operator Q such that

A dual result is true f o r dual modal operators. 2.5. Definition. A modal Boolean algebra ( a topological Boolean algebra) is a pair

(B, P),

where B is a Boolean algebra and P is a modal operator (a closure operator) on

B.

A topological Boolean algebra can be also defined as a pair ( B ,Q), where B is a Boolean algebra and Q is an interior operator on B . 2.6. Examples.

(i) A modal structure is a pair ( K , R ) ,where K is a non- empty set and R C Ii - j

2.5. Remark. For 2

2 4 we

can extend the definition of Fij for any ( i , j ) E T n :

It is easy t o see that Fij satisfy conditions (2.8) for any ( i ,j ) E Tn. 2.7. Example. If x = 5,y = J n-1 are in L,, then we denote for ( i , j ) E S, (2.11)

canonical structure of proper Moisil algebra. 2.8. Lemma.

Let ( L , {Ej}(i,j)E~n) be a proper n-valued Moisil algebra, x, y E L and a , b E C(L). Then the following properties hold

By the determination principle, we obtain (2.13). (2.14): Follows from (2.12) and (2.13). (2.15): By (2.13), F , j ( x , O ) = F , j ( x A 1,O A 0) = f i j ( ~ , O ) A 1 A 0 = 0, therefore, by (2.14), Fij(z, b) = F;j(x V 0,O V b) = Fij(z, 0) A N b = 0. 0

2.9. Lemma. Let ( L , { F ; j } ) ,(L’,{F;j}) be two proper n-valued h : L + L‘ is a morphism of Moisil algebras then (2.16)

h(F;j(z,y)) = F i j ( h ( ~ ) , h ( y ) ) for any (z,Y) E L and ( 4 j )E

2.10. Remark. The precedent lemma shows that the category o f proper n-valued Moisil algebras is a full subcategory of th e category of n-valued Moisil algebras. 2.10’. Remark.

Let ( L , { F ; j } )be a proper n-valued Moisil algebra, F an n-filter of L and p t he congruence associated with F ,i.e. if (x,x’)E p and (y,y‘) E p then there exist a, b E F n C ( L ) such that x A a = x’A a and y A b = y’ A b. By (2.13) we have

F;j(x,y) A a A b = Fij(~A U , y A b ) = F;j(d A a, y’ A b ) = = F’~(z’,y’) A a A b for any ( i , j ) E

T,,.Since a A b E F

we get ( ~ j j ( z , y ) , ~ , j ( z ’ , y ’ ) )E p. It

follows that L / F = L / p has a canonical structure of proper Moisil algebra.

If w is a sentence in Luk, we shall denote by w* the sentence of Luk: obtained by replacing the occurrences of + in w by the expression corresponding t o the relation (2.17). Conversely, with every sentence 20 of Luk: we can associate a sentence w o of Luk, by replacing t h e occurrences of V, A, +, cpi and Fij in w by the expressions corresponding to the relations (2.3), (2.4), (2.28), (2.7) and (2.27). By induction on the length of sentences one can prove for every sentence

w in Luk, that w is valid in Luk, iff W * is valid in Luk: and for every sentence w in Lukz that w is valid in Luk: iff wo is valid ain Luk,. This shows that the axioms (Al)-(A18) of Luk; give indeed an axiomatization o f the Lukasiewicz n-valued logic

2.26. Remark. Another axiomatization of the n-valued Lukasiewicz logic was given by Grigolia [1977] using the MV,-algebras

as algebraic models.

2.27. Remark.

The axioms (Al)-(A16) and the rules of inference m.p. and (r,) define an n-valued propositional calculus having as algebraic models the n-valued Moisil algebras. In accordance with Cignoli [1982], this logical system will

be called the n-valued Moisil propositional calculus. 2.28. Remark. Let us consider an n-valued Post algebra

every n-valued Post algebra has a canonical structure of proper Moisil algebra. If we replace th e axioms (A17) and ( A N ) by the axioms corresponding to the definition of the constants cl,

we obtain an axiomatization of

the n-valued Post-logic (see Rasiowa [1974]). 2.29. Remark. An analysis of the predicate calculus for the n-valued Lukasiewicz logic can be found in Cignoli [1984]. The main tool in the proof of the completeness theorem for this logic is Cignoli’s theorem 4.5.12 which asserts that every nvalued Moisil algebra is completely chrysippian. Consequently the n-valued Moisil algebras provide a common algebraic framework for the treatment of

the n-valued logics of Lukasiewicz and Post. The above remarks 2.25, 2.27 and 2.28 establish the exact relations between the n-valued Moisil logic, the n-valued Lukasiewicz logic and the n-valued Post logic. See also Surma

3.4. Definition. A valuation of Prop(V) is a .r-homomorphism w : Prop(V) -+ Lh'. We say that p E Prop(V) is k-true with respect t o w if w ( p ) ( k ) = 1 and k-false with respect t o v if w ( p ) ( k ) = 0.

We prove (3.39) by induction on the length of p . For p E V , (3.39) reduces to (3.40). The inductive step is based on Lemmas 3.21 and 3.23.

Conversely, if { v k I k E I } , vk E P r o p ( V ) and we define v : P r o p ( V ) --t Li' by v ( p ) ( k ) =: 1 iff p E vk, then { v k 1 k E I } is a saturated family iff is a valuation of P r o p ( V ) in

L\'.

We consider the language of the 0-valued propositional calculus and for each k E I we introduce the symbols T k and T k .

An expression of the form T k p (or T k p ) , where p E Prop(V), will be called a signed proposition, or signed formula, of prefiz

T k(ofprefix

Tk).

Now we write down the following Gentzen-style (meta) formulas:

(4.9)

T k qj p

Tkpjp Tjp

Tjp

*

Formulas (4.9)-(4.9) suggest properties like "if p v q then p or q", "if not

( p V q ) then not p and not q" etc. This suggests further a classification of signed formulas into two classes according as they have "and" consequences or "or" consequences. Let us follow this suggestion in a formal definition. 4.4. Notation.

We denote by R any signed formula having one of the following forms: T k ( pv q ) 3 T k ( pA q ) 7 T k v j p7 T k p j p

(A)

and we denote by

T k q j p7 T k q j p 7

any signed formula having one of the following forms:

Thus formulas (4.6)-(4.9)

can be succintly lumped into the following

We now describe the concept of tree. 4.7. Definition. An unordered tree is a triple A = (A,lev,s) where:

(i) A is a nonempty set, whose elements are called points.

(ii) lev : A + IN is a mapping, lev(x) is called the level of the point x E A. (iii) s E A x A such that if ( x l , y ) E s , (z2,y) E s then z1 = 5 2 . If (x,y) E s we say y is a direct successo~of x and x is a direct predecessor of y. More generally, if (z,y)E sn (i.e., there is a sequence

(v)

if ( x , y ) E s then lev(y) = lev(z)

+ 1.

If x E A has no successor we say th a t z is an end point; if 2 E A has only one direct successor we say that x is a simple point, while if it has several direct successors we say th a t x is a branch point. A finite sequence (z1,22, ...,zn)E A” is called a path t o x, in the tree A if x1 = 0 and ( x 1 , ~ 2 ) , ( ~ 2 ,,..., ~ ) (zn-l,zn) E s. B y a mazimal p a t h or a brunch we mean a path

such th a t zn is an end point.

4.8. Definition. a) A tree

A is said to be finitely generated if each point has a finite number

b) A branch of an analytic tableau is said to be true under v , if all o f its points are true under v ; an analytic tableau is called true u n d e r v if it has at least a branch which is true under v. c) A set of signed formulas (a branch) is called satisfiable if there exists a valuation under which all the elements of the set (all t h e points of the branch) are true.

4.12. Definition. By a k-analytic proof of a formula p E Prop(V) is meant a closed tableau for T k p . 4.13. Proposition.

(i) If T k p has a closed analytic tableau, then p is a k-tautology. (ii) If Tkp has a closed analytic tableau, t h e n p is n o t k-satisfiable. Proof.

(i) If 7'is a direct extension of the analytic tableau 7, then 7' is true under every valuation v w i th the property t h a t 7 is true under v. Hence using Definition 4.1, it follows by induction t h a t every analytic tableau is true under a valuation v if i t s origin is true under this valuation. If 7

7 cannot be true under any valuation, because branch of 7 contains some Tkq,T j q , k , j E I , k 5 j and if such

is a closed tableau, then every

a branch is true under a valuation v , then v ( q ) ( k ) = 1, v ( q ) ( j )= 0, a contradiction. This implies th a t if T k p has a closed analytic tableau (i.e. p E Prop(V) has a k-analytic proof), then for every valuation v we have v ( p ) ( k ) = 1.

(ii) If T k p has a closed analytic tableau then v ( p ) ( k ) = 0 for every valuation 0 and so p is not k-satisfiable. 4.14. Remark. T he method of analytic tableaux is consistent, i.e. it is n o t possible t h a t

The construction is due t o Filipoiu [1981] and follows closely the model of Barnes and Mack [1975] for the classical calculus. 5.1. Definition.

Proof. Induction over n. For n = 1 note that f(k-Azm' U H ) = k-Asm2U

f ( H ) because one sees readily that the axioms of the forms (5.13), (5.16). (5.17) in Definition 5.22 are transformed into the corresponding axioms for

Pi,while for

the axioms of the forms (5.14) and (5.15) the same result is

obtained via Lemma 5.25; for (5.15) we have t o choose a representative of

f(w)such that g(y) # BX2(Vg(z)f(w))and similarly for 3. The inductive step amounts t o proving that f preserves modus ponens and generalization. The former is clear. To prove the latter suppose t h a t wn = Vxw and there is a k-proof w t l..., , wt, of w = w t mfrom a subset

Proof. We are going to define four increasing families of sets X i , Hi, Hi, Pi such that Pj = P8(Xi,R ) and each Hi is maximal k- consistent in Pi (i E N ) . First we put X o = X and Ho = H ,then

where tL are new variables. We prove that if Hi is k-consistent, so is Hi+l. If not, there is a k-theorem wo such that @kw0 has a k-proof from H,!+l;let

A = {zf?;(x/t$,), ...,w~(s/t$h)} be the set of all elements of - Hi occurring in that k-proof. Then H j U A I- PkWO, which contradicts Lemma 5.32. Thus Hi+l is k-consistent k

and we take a maximal k-consistent set Hi+l 2 Hit1, which exists by the Zorn lemma. Now we take X * = U Xi and H* = U Hi. Then (5.19) holds and we prove (5.20) using Lemma 3.21 via Remark 5.31. First if (PkW E H* for some k-theorem w then (PkW E Hi for some i and this contradicts Lemma 3.21 for Hi; hence (Pkw $! H* for every k-theorem w. Further if w E Dedk(H*) take a k-proof w1, ...,wn-lr w, = w of w from H* in Pfl(X*,R);then this is also a k-proof of w from Hi in Pfl(Xj,R) for a sufficiently large i, hence w E Dedk(Hi) = Hi by Lemma 3.21 for Hi,therefore w E H'. This proves that Dedk(H*) = H*. One proves similarly (3.30) for H* by using (3.30) for

Hi for some i. Finally if w = 3sw' E H* take i such that w E Hi; then w'(z/tL) E

I Pd(X,R ) is obviously a valuation

of P . ( X , R ) which satisfies

v(w)(k) = 1 for every w E H. Therefore we may suppose without loss of generality that (5.20) and (5.21) hold for

H . The desired valuation will

be a quadruple, as required in Definition 5.19, namely ( X , i d x , G , v ) , where --f {g I g : X" --t J$} is defined by

G : R

and v is obtained from the &interpretation (idx, G) in X by the construction in Lemma 5.18. The first point is the correctness of this construction: to prove that (idx, G) is actually an interpretation in X it remains to check that G(r)(xl,...,xn) E $. But if i , j E I,i I j and cp;r E H , then H I- cpjr k

by (3.15), therefore cpjr E H by Lemma 3.21 (3.29) via Remark 5.31. Now our theorem will be established if we succeed to prove that (5.23)

v ( w ) ( ~=) 1 ($ cpjw E H

because if w E H then by applying Lemma 3.21 we obtain in turn (pkW $! H , (pkqkw E H and (PkW E H via (3.12), therefore v(w)(k) = 1by (5.23). Thus it remains to prove (5.23) by induction. For w = ~ ( $ 1 ,...,z,,),(5.23) follows from Lemma 5.18 (a) and (5.22). For the inductive step we use Properties (a)-(g) in Lemma 5.18 (6. Definition 5.19) and again Lemma 3.21.

If 201,

satisfy (5.23), so do wl A w2 and w1 V w2; e.g. for w1 A w2 we also use (3.36) and get 202

Now we suppose w satisfies (5.23) and prove that so do cpiw, p;w, Vxw

and 3xw. But

by (3.11) and (3.29), while (3.30), (3,14), (3,13) and (3.29) imply

For Vxw suppose first yjVxw # H . Then cpjVxw E H as was just seen in (5.24), hence 3xcpjw E H by (5.17"), therefore (5.21) implies (cpjw)(x/t) E H for some t E X, hence (cpjcpjw)(z/t) E H by (3.13); but since cpjw satisfies also (5.23) we get v((cpjw)(x/t))(j) = 1, i.e. v(w(x/t))(j) = 0, therefore v(Vxw)(j) = 0. Conversely, suppose vjVxw E H. Then pjVxw # H by (5.24), hence 3xCpjw # H by (5.17"). Then it follows from (5.15") that for every t # BX(3xcpjw) = B X ( 3 x w ) we have (cpjw)(x/t) # H , hence (cpjw)(x/t) E H by (5.24), therefore v(w(x/t))(j) = 1.

APPENDIX APPLICATIONS TO SWITCHING THEORY

The first written evidence of th e idea t h a t t h e algebra of logic can be applied t o t he study of electrical networks is due t o the physicist P. Ehrenfest, in a review of the Russian translation of L. Couturat's book Algibre de la logique; the review was published in the Journal of the Russian PhysicalChemical Society, Physics section, 42, section II, no. 10, p. 382, 1910. Later on, in two papers published in December 1936 and February 1937 in

the Journal of the Institute of Engineering and Electro-Communication of Japan (Japanese, with English abstracts in the Japanese periodical Nippon Electrical Communication Engineering, 1938- 1941), A. Nakashima and M. Hanzawa pointed out several algebraic laws of series and parallel connections which in fact were identical t o th e laws of Boolean algebra; but t h e authors were not aware of the latter concept. Independently of Ehrenfest, Nakashima and Hanzawa and independently of each other, C.E. Shannon in Transactions

A.I.E.E. 1938, no. 57, p. 713 and V.I. Shestakov in his doctoral thesis a t the University of Moscow, also in 1938, applied Boolean algebra t o t h e study of switching circuits. Their works were followed up, especially from 1950 on, when the algebraic theory of switching circuits developed vertiginously. Nowadays the starting point of the theory seems quite simple. Associate with each contact of a circuit, a variable x which takes the value 1when the contact is closed and the value 0 when the contact is open. Further let

t

be

a variable which takes the value 1if a current flows through the circuit and

the value 0 if no current flows through the circuit. If the circuit consists of

x, y connected in series then t = x A y, while if the contacts x, y are connected in parallel then t = x V y. Also, two contacts may be mounted on an armature, as in Fig. A l . When the armature is in position a

two contacts

the upper contact is closed and th e lower contact is open, while in position b the upper contact is open and the lower contact is closed. That is why

540

Appendix

a Fig. A l .

we also refer t o the upper and the lower contacts as opening contacts and closing contacts, respectively. Let us associate with the armature a binary variable x defined as follows: x = 0 in position a ,

2

= 1 in position b;

then x is also th e variable associated with the opening contact, while the variable associated with the closing contact is 3. Therefore the two-element Boolean algebra Lz can be applied t o the study of contact circuits. More generally, Boolean algebra is a suitable tool for the study of networks made up of binary devices, which means that each device has two possible states. However it turns out that this theory uses Boolean algebras distinct from

Lz

as well. On t he other hand the study of networks involving multi-positional devices and of the so-called hazard and race phenomena have imposed the use of other algebraic tools, namely Galois fields, Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras

and t he theory of discrete function; see e.g. Moisil [1959c], the reference given a t t he end of this appendix and Davio, Thayse and Deschamps [1978], respectively. In this appendix we illustrate by a few typical examples the adequacy of Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebras as a tool for the study of circuits, then we indicate appropriate references for the main topics dealt with in the theory.

It has been remarked that the description depicted in Fig. A 1 neglects the fact t h a t the armature has also an intermediate position, when both contacts are open; cf. Fig. A2. Therefore it is more appropriate t o use a three-valued variable x in order to describe the position of the armature:

z = 0 in position a , Fig. A l ; z = 1/2 in the intermediate position depicted in Fig. A2; z = 1 in position b, Fig. A l . On the other hand if in the construction of the Moisil algebra L, given in Example 3.1.20 we change the notation i t o for i = 0, ..., n - 1 , we obtain L, = 0, ..., 2,l} and in particular the algebra L3 = {0,1/2,1}, whose operations are recalled in Table A l . Thus the variable z associated with the armature takes values in

L3 and if we denote by xo and z1the variables associated with the opening contact and the closing contact we see that zo = Ncpp and z1 = q l z ; cf. Table A2. The above type of contacts is known as break-before-make; there is also another type of contacts, called make-before-break, for which the associated variables fulfil zos= pzz and zlS = Npls.

As will be illustrated hereinafter, the study of the sequential behaviour of circuits requires the knowledge of the structure of functions with arguments and valued in L,. Consider the following functions Ak : L, ---t L,(k E

The study of the sequential behaviour of circuits is based on the hypothesis (made explicit by C.P. Popovici) that the axis of time can be divided into sufficiently small intervals, so that within each of them the position of each device of the circuit remains unchanged. Therefore the time values are discrete: 0,1,2,...,n,... , both in the Boolean switching theory and in its generalizations. Notations like a,

B y way of illustration let us study the operation of a relay. This device consists of an electro-magnet and an armature with contacts. When the current flows through the coil of the electro-magnet the armature is attracted and remains attracted; when there is no current in the flow the armature comes back and remains in the rest position. More exactly, this operation is described i n Table A3, where ( is the variable associated t o the current and z is the variable associated to the armature. Thus z,+~ = f(&,z,), where

f : L2x L3+ L 3 is the function depicted in Table A3. But we have the identity
