In abstract algebra, a branch of pure mathematics, an MV-algebra is an algebraic structure with a binary operation , a unary operation , and the constant , satisfying certain axioms. MV-algebras are the algebraic semantics of Łukasiewicz logic; the letters MV refer to the ''many-valued'' logic of Łukasiewicz. MV-algebras coincide with the class of bounded commutative BCK algebras. ==Definitions== An MV-algebra is an algebraic structure consisting of * a non-empty set * a binary operation on * a unary operation on and * a constant denoting a fixed element of which satisfies the following identities: * * * * * and * By virtue of the first three axioms, is a commutative monoid. Being defined by identities, MV-algebras form a variety of algebras. The variety of MV-algebras is a subvariety of the variety of BL-algebras and contains all Boolean algebras. An MV-algebra can equivalently be defined (Hájek 1998) as a prelinear commutative bounded integral residuated lattice satisfying the additional identity 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV-algebra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
