Abstract
For representation by partial functions in the signature with intersection, composition and antidomain, we show that a representation is meet complete if and only if it is join complete. We show that a representation is complete if and only if it is atomic, but that not all atomic representable algebras are completely representable. We show that the class of completely representable algebras is not axiomatisable by any existential-universal-existential first-order theory. By giving an explicit representation, we show that the completely representable algebras form a basic elementary class, axiomatisable by a universal-existential-universal sentence.
