We say that a (∨,0)-semilattice S is conditionally co-Brouwerian, if (1) for all nonempty subsets X and Y of S such that X $\leq$ Y (i.e., x $\leq$ y for all (x, y) $\in$ X x Y), there exists z $\in$ S such that X $\leq$ z $\leq$ Y,…

We develop a hierarchy of semilattice bases (S-bases) for frames. For a given (unbounded) meet-semilattice $A$, we analyze the interval in the coframe of sublocales of the frame of downsets of $A$ formed by all frames with the S-base $A$.…

We introduce semiframes (an algebraic structure) and investigate their duality with semitopologies (a topological one). Both semitopologies and semiframes are relatively recent developments, arising from a novel application of topological…

We characterise the frame morphisms $f:L\to M$ that lift to frame maps $\overline{f}:\mathsf{S}_b(L)\to \mathsf{S}_b(M)$, where $\mathsf{S}_b(L)$ is the collection of joins of complemented sublocales of a frame $L$, or equivalently the…

Loosely speaking, a semi-frame is a generalized frame for which one of the frame bounds is absent. More precisely, given a total sequence in a Hilbert space, we speak of an upper (resp. lower) semi-frame if only the upper (resp. lower)…

We construct a diagram D, indexed by a finite partially ordered set, of finite Boolean semilattices and (v,0,1)-embeddings, with top semilattice $2^4$, such that for any variety V of algebras, if D has a lifting, with respect to the…

In our previous papers, together with J. Paseka we introduced so-called sectionally pseudocomplemented lattices and posets and illuminated their role in algebraic constructions. We believe that - similar to relatively pseudocomplemented…

This work presents a quantitative framework for describing the overcompleteness of a large class of frames. It introduces notions of localization and approximation between two frames $\mathcal{F} = \{f_i\}_{i \in I}$ and $\mathcal{E} =…

The aim of the present paper is to extend the concept of a congruence from lattices to posets. We use an approach different from that used by the first author and V. Sn\'a\v{s}el. By using our definition we show that congruence classes are…

This paper deals with join-semilattices whose sections, i.e. principal filters, are pseudocomplemented lattices. The pseudocomplement of a\vee b in the section [b,1] is denoted by a\rightarrow b and can be considered as the connective…

A specialization semilattice is a semilattice together with a coarser preorder satisfying a compatibility condition. We show that the category of specialization semilattices is isomorphic to the category of semilattices with a congruence,…

In this chapter we survey two topics that have recently been investigated in frame theory. First, we give an overview of the class of scalable frames. These are (finite) frames with the property that each frame vector can be rescaled in…

A lifting of a semilattice S is an algebra A such that the semilattice of compact (=finitely generated) congruences of A is isomorphic to S. The aim of this work is to give a categorical theory of partial algebras endowed with a partial…

A $\sigma$-frame is a poset with countable joins and finite meets in which binary meets distribute over countable joins. The aim of this paper is to show that $\sigma$-frames, actually $\sigma$-locales, can be seen as a branch of Formal…

The idea of partial smoothness in optimization blends certain smooth and nonsmooth properties of feasible regions and objective functions. As a consequence, the standard first-order conditions guarantee that diverse iterative algorithms…

This paper illustrates the relationship between boolean propositional algebra and semirings, presenting some results of partial ordering on boolean propositional algebras, and the necessary conditions to represent a boolean propositional…

A join-semilattice $L$ is said to be conjunctive if it has a top element $1$ and it satisfies the following first-order condition: for any two distinct $a,b\in L$, there is $c\in L$ such that either $a\vee c\not=1=b\vee c$ or $a\vee…

This paper is an exploration of the nuanced realm of reference frames within the framework of General Relativity. Our analysis exposes a violation of Earman's SP1 principle in scenarios involving fields that are dynamically uncoupled, a…

A topologized semilattice $X$ is called complete if each non-empty chain $C\subset X$ has $\inf C$ and $\sup C$ that belong to the closure $C$ of the chain $C$ in $X$. In this paper, we introduce various concepts of completeness of…

We devise exact conditions under which a join semilattice with a weak contact relation can be semilattice embedded into a Boolean algebra with an overlap contact relation, equivalently, into a distributive lattice with additive contact…
