In this paper, first we define the notion of involutive operator on bounded involutive equality algebras and by using it, we introduce a new class of equality algebras that we called it a tense like equality algebra. Then we investigate some properties of tense like equality algebra. For two involutive bounded equality algebras and an equality homomorphism between them, we prove that the tense ...

in this paper, we introduce a satisfaction function (sf) to compare interval values on the basis oftseng and klein’s idea. the sf estimates the degree to which arithmetic comparisons between two intervalvalues are satisfied. then, we define two other functions called lower and upper sf based on the sf. weapply these functions in order to present a new interpretation of inequality constraints wi...

An equality relation on the terms of the A-calculus is an equivalence relation closed under the (syntactical) operations of application and A-abstraction. We may distinguish between syntactic and semantic ways of introducing equality relations, /^-equality is introduced syntactically; it is the least equality relation satisfying the equations for aand ^-conversion. For a more subtle way of intr...

This paper is about equality of proofs in which a binary predicate formalizing properties of equality occurs, besides conjunction and the constant true proposition. The properties of equality in question are those of a preordering relation, those of an equivalence relation, and other properties appropriate for an equality relation in linear logic. The guiding idea is that equality of proofs is ...

The definition of Standard ML provides a form of generic equality which is inferred for certain types, called equality types, on which it is possible to define an equality relation in ML. However, the standard definition is incomplete in the sense that there are interesting and useful types which are not inferred to be equality types but for which an equality relation can be defined in ML in a ...

The de nition of Standard ML provides a form of generic equality which is inferred for certain types, called equality types, on which it is possible to de ne an equality relation in ML. However, the standard de nition is incomplete in the sense that there are interesting and useful types which are not inferred to be equality types but for which an equality relation can be de ned in ML in a unif...

Current knowledge systems lack an effective architecture to bridge the well-acknowledged gap between flexibility and rigidity users’ preference of flexible expression and machine’s need for rigorous representation. This paper focuses on finding an adequate set of relationship types (or link types) and map flexible expressions from users to link types in propositional knowledge systems, in which...

Our work is a contribution to the model-theoretic study of equality-free fuzzy predicate logics. We present a reduced semantics and we prove a completeness theorem of the logics with respect to this semantics. The main concepts being studied are the Leibniz congruence and the relative relation. On the one hand, the Leibniz congruence of a model identifies the elements that are indistinguishable...

In type theory a proposition is represented by a type, the type of its proofs. As a consequence, the equality relation on a certain type is represented by a binary family of types. Equality on a type may be conventional or inductive. Conventional equality means that one particular equivalence relation is singled out as the equality, while inductive equality – which we also call identity – is in...
