چکیده
(Q,≦,∨) is a complete join semilattice (Q,・,e) is a monoid (∨S)・a=∨{b・a | b∈S} for a∈Q, S⊆Q a・(∨S)=∨{a・b | b∈S} for a∈Q, S⊆Q 2 Background: An Example of Quantale (Rel(A),≦,∨,・,e) is a quantale where Rel(A) is the set of all binary relations on A ≦ is the inclusion ∨ is the union ・ is the composition Q・R={ (a,c) | ∃b. (a,b)∈Q, (b,c)∈R } e is the identity relation 3 Our Goal: Relational Representation Theorem Goal is to give a sufficient condition for a quantale Q to be isomorphic to a subquantale of Rel(A) for some set A. In other words, to give a sufficient condition for a quantale Q to have an injective homomorphism of quantales from Q to Rel(A) for some set A.

Topological Relational Quantales
We introduce and present results about a class of quantales, the topological relational quantales, that can be associated with tuples (X,R) such that X is a topological space and R is a lower-semicontinuous equivalence relation on X (see Definition 1 below). Our motivating case studies and examples of topological relational quantales include concrete quantales such as the relational quantales o...
متن کاملRelational Representation of Groupoid Quantales
In Palmigiano and Re (J Pure Appl Algebra 215(8):1945–1957, 2011), spatial SGF-quantales are axiomatically introduced and proved to be representable as sub unital involutive quantales of quantales arising from set groupoids. In the present paper, spatial SGF-quantales of this class are shown to be optimally representable as unital involutive quantales of relations. The results of the present pa...
متن کاملThe Dichotomous Intensional Expressive Power of the Nested Relational Calculus with Powerset
Most existing studies on the expressive power of query languages have focused on what queries can be expressed and what queries cannot be expressed in a query language. They do not tell us much about whether a query can be implemented efficiently in a query language. Yet, paradoxically, efficiency is of primary concern in computer science. In this paper, the efficiency of queries in NRC(powerse...
متن کاملOn a Duality of Quantales emerging from an Operational Resolution
We introduce the notion of operational resolution, i.e., an isotone map from a powerset to a poset that meets two additional conditions, which generalizes the description of states as the atoms in a property lattice (Piron, 1976 and Aerts, 1982) or as the underlying set of a closure operator (Aerts, 1994 and Moore, 1995). We study the structure preservance of the related state transitions and s...
متن کاملAutomated Higher-order Reasoning in Quantales
We present an approach to bring reasoning in quantales into the realm of automated theorem proving. We use the TPTP Problem Library for this purpose which by a recent approach now integrates fully automated higher-order theorem provers. In particular, we give an encoding of quantales in the new typed higher-order form and show how to prove theorems about quantales fully automatically.
