The proper quasivariety BCA of Bochvar algebras, which serves as the equivalent algebraic semantics of Bochvar's external logic, was introduced by Finn and Grigolia in and extensively studied in a recent work by two of these authors. In…
P\l onka sums consist of a general construction that provides structural description for algebras in regularized varieties, whose examples range from Clifford semigroups to many algebras of logic including involutive bisemilattices, Bochvar…
Plonka sums consist of an algebraic construction similar, in some sense to direct limits, which allows to represent classes of algebras defined by means of regular identities (namely those equations where the same set of variables appears…
The class of involutive bisemilattices plays the role of the algebraic counterpart of paraconsistent weak Kleene logic. Involutive bisemilattices can be represented as Plonka sums of Boolean algebras, that is semilattice direct systems of…
The paper introduces the notion of state for involutive bisemilattices, a variety which plays the role of algebraic counterpart of paraconsistent weak Kleene logic and whose elements are represented as Plonka sum of Boolean algebras. We…
The paper aims at studying, in full generality, logics defined by imposing a variable inclusion condition on a given logic $\vdash$. It turns out that the algebraic counterpart of the variable inclusion companion of a given logic $\vdash$…
A three-valued logic L is subclassical when it is defined by a single matrix having the classical two-element matrix as a subreduct. In this case, the language of L can be expanded with special unary connectives, called external operators.…
Pseudo-BCI-algebras generalize both BCI-algebras and pseudo-BCK-algebras, which are a non-commutative generalization of BCK-algebras. In this paper, following [J.G. Raftery and C.J. van Alten, Residuation in commutative ordered monoids with…
In this paper, we propose a generalization for the class of laura algebras, which we call almost laura. We show that this new class of algebras retains most of the essential features of laura algebras, especially concerning the important…
In this work we study the notions of structural and universal completeness both from the algebraic and logical point of view. In particular, we provide new algebraic characterizations of quasivarieties that are actively and passively…
The article is a study of two algebraic structures, the `contrapositionally complemented pseudo-Boolean algebra' (ccpBa) and `contrapositionally $\vee$ complemented pseudo-Boolean algebra' (c$\vee$cpBa). The algebras have recently been…
We introduce partially observable concurrent Kleene algebra (POCKA), an algebraic framework to reason about concurrent programs with control structures, such as conditionals and loops. POCKA enables reasoning about programs that can access…
In the literature on Kleene algebra (KA), a number of variants have been proposed such as Kleene algebra with tests, commutative KA, bi-KA, and concurrent KA. The equational theories of some of these structures have then been studied in the…
We set out the general theory of ``Beck modules'' in a variety of algebras and describe them as modules over suitable ``universal enveloping'' unital associative algebras. We develop a theory of ``noncommutative partial differentiation'' to…
Weak Kleene logics are three-valued logics characterized by the presence of an infectious truth-value. In their external versions, as they were originally introduced by Bochvar and Hallden, these systems are equipped with an additional…
We introduce the notion of clone algebra, intended to found a one-sorted, purely algebraic theory of clones. Clone algebras are defined by true identities and thus form a variety in the sense of universal algebra. The most natural clone…
We present algebraic semantics for Continuous Propositional Logic, CPL, introduced by Itai Ben Yaacov, viewed as {\L}ukasiewicz propositional logic with a reversed truth-falsity orientation and enriched by a unary halving connective. We…
The Blok-Esakia theorem states that there is an isomorphism from the lattice of intermediate logics onto the lattice of normal extensions of Grzegorczyk modal logic. The extension for multi-conclusion consequence relations was obtained by…
Following Birkhoff and von Neumann, quantum logic has traditionally been based on the lattice of closed linear subspaces of some Hilbert space, or, more generally, on the lattice of projections in a von Neumann algebra A. Unfortunately, the…
Concurrent Kleene Algebra (CKA) is a recently proposed algebraic structure by Hoare and collaborators that unifies the laws of concurrent programming. The unifying power of CKA rests largely on the so-called exchange law that describes how…
