Division by Zero in Common Meadows
نویسندگان
چکیده
Common meadows are fields expanded with a total inverse function. Division by zero produces an additional value denoted with a that propagates through all operations of the meadow signature (this additional value can be interpreted as an error element). We provide a basis theorem for so-called common cancellation meadows of characteristic zero, that is, common meadows of characteristic zero that admit a certain cancellation law.

Division by zero in non-involutive meadows
Meadows have been proposed as alternatives for fields with a purely equational axiomatization. At the basis of meadows lies the decision to make the multiplicative inverse operation total by imposing that the multiplicative inverse of zero is zero. Thus, the multiplicative inverse operation of a meadow is an involution. In this paper, we study 'non-involutive meadows', i.e. variants of meadows ...
متن کاملTransformation of fractions into simple fractions in divisive meadows
Meadows are alternatives for fields with a purely equational axiomatization. At the basis of meadows lies the decision to make the multiplicative inverse operation total by imposing that the multiplicative inverse of zero is zero. Divisive meadows are meadows with the multiplicative inverse operation replaced by a division operation. Viewing a fraction as a term over the signature of divisive m...
متن کاملInversive meadows and divisive meadows
An inversive meadow is a commutative ring with identity and a total multiplicative inverse operation satisfying 0 = 0. Previously, inversive meadows were shortly called meadows. In this paper, we introduce divisive meadows, which are inversive meadows with the multiplicative inverse operation replaced by a division operation. We introduce a translation from the terms over the signature of divis...
متن کاملDifferential Meadows
A meadow is a zero totalised field (0 = 0), and a cancellation meadow is a meadow without proper zero divisors. In this paper we consider differential meadows, i.e., meadows equipped with differentiation operators. We give an equational axiomatization of these operators and thus obtain a finite basis for differential cancellation meadows. Using the Zariski topology we prove the existence of a d...
متن کاملArithmetical meadows
An inversive meadow is a commutative ring with identity equipped with a total multiplicative inverse operation satisfying 0 −1 = 0. Previously, inversive meadows were shortly called meadows. A divisive meadow is an inversive meadows with the multiplicative inverse operation replaced by a division operation. In the spirit of Peacock's arithmetical algebra, we introduce variants of inversive and ...
