Partial algebras and implications of (weak) matrix properties

Matrix properties are a type of property of categories which includes the ones of being Mal'tsev, arithmetical, majority, unital, strongly unital and subtractive. Recently, an algorithm has been developed to determine implications $M\Rightarrow N$ between them. We show here that this algorithm reduces to construct a partial term corresponding to $N$ from a partial term corresponding to $M$. Moreover, we prove that this is further equivalent to the corresponding implication between the weak versions of these properties, i.e., the one where only strong monomorphisms are considered instead of all monomorphisms.
