Reaping Numbers of Boolean Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
A subsetA of a Boolean algebra B is said to be (n,m)reaped if there is a partition of unity P ⊂ B of size n such that |{b ∈ P : b∧a 6= ∅}| ≥ m for all a ∈ A. The reaping number rn,m(B) of a Boolean algebra B is the minimum cardinality of a set A ⊂ B\ {0} such which cannot be (n,m)-reaped. It is shown that, for each n ∈ ω, there is a Boolean algebra B such that rn+1,2(B) 6= rn,2(B). Also, {rn,m(B) : {n,m} ⊆ ω} consists of at most two consecutive integers. The existence of a Boolean algebra B such that rn,m(B) 6= rn′,m′(B) is equivalent to a statement in finite combinatorics which is also discussed.

Filter theory in MTL-algebras based on Uni-soft property
The notion of (Boolean) uni-soft filters in MTL-algebras is introduced, and several properties of them are investigated. Characterizations of (Boolean) uni-soft filters are discussed, and some (necessary and sufficient) conditions for a uni-soft filter to be Boolean are provided. The condensational property for a Boolean uni-soft filter is established.
متن کاملOn some classes of expansions of ideals in $MV$-algebras
In this paper, we introduce the notions of expansion of ideals in $MV$-algebras, $ (tau,sigma)- $primary, $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean in $ MV- $algebras. We investigate the relations of them. For example, we show that every $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate ideal of an $ MV-$ algebra is $ (tau,sigma)$-primary and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean. In particular, we define an expansion $ ...

متن کاملDually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras II. Regularity
This paper is the second of a two part series. In this Part, we prove, using the description of simples obtained in Part I, that the variety $mathbf{RDQDStSH_1}$ of regular dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 is the join of the variety generated by the twenty 3-element $mathbf{RDQDStSH_1}$-chains and the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Boolean semi-Heyting algebras--...
متن کاملDually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras I. Regularity
This paper is the first of a two part series. In this paper, we first prove that the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 satisfies the strongly blended $lor$-De Morgan law introduced in cite{Sa12}. Then, using this result and the results of cite{Sa12}, we prove our main result which gives an explicit description of simple algebras(=subdirectly irreducibles) ...
