Sheffer Stroke Nelson Algebras

In this study, Sheffer stroke Nelson algebras (briefly, s-Nelson algebras), (ultra) ideals, quasi-subalgebras and quotient sets on these algebraic structures are introduced. The relationships between s-Nelson and Nelson algebras are analyzed. Also, it is shown that a s-Nelson algbera is a bounded distributive modular lattice, and the family of all ideals forms a complete distributive modular lattice. A congruence relation on s-Nelson algebra is determined by its ideal and quotient s-Nelson algebras are constructed by this congruence relation. Finally, it is indicated that a quotient s-Nelson algebra defined by the ultra ideal is totally ordered and that the cardinality of the quotient is less than or equals to 2.

Dually hemimorphic semi-Nelson algebras

Extending the relation between semi-Heyting algebras and semi-Nelson algebras to dually hemimorphic semi-Heyting algebras, we introduce and study the variety of dually hemimorphic semi-Nelson algebras and some of its subvarieties. In particular, we prove that the category of dually hemimorphic semi-Heyting algebras is equivalent to the category of dually hemimorphic centered semi-Nelson algebras. We also study the lattice of congruences of a dually hemimorphic semi-Nelson algebra through some of its deductive systems.

Two Axiomatizations of Nelson Algebras

Nelson algebras were first studied by Rasiowa and Białynicki- Birula [1] under the name N-lattices or quasi-pseudo-Boolean algebras. Later, in investigations by Monteiro and Brignole [3, 4], and [2] the name “Nelson algebras” was adopted - which is now commonly used to show the correspondence with Nelson’s paper [14] on constructive logic with strong negation. By a Nelson algebra we mean an abstract algebra 〈L, T, -, ¬, →, ⇒, ⊔, ⊓〉 where L is the carrier, − is a quasi-complementation (Rasiowa used the sign ~, but in Mizar “−” should be used to follow the approach described in [12] and [10]), ¬ is a weak pseudo-complementation → is weak relative pseudocomplementation and ⇒ is implicative operation. ⊔ and ⊓ are ordinary lattice binary operations of supremum and infimum. In this article we give the definition and basic properties of these algebras according to [16] and [15]. We start with preliminary section on quasi-Boolean algebras (i.e. de Morgan bounded lattices). Later we give the axioms in the form of Mizar adjectives with names corresponding with those in [15]. As our main result we give two axiomatizations (non-equational and equational) and the full formal proof of their equivalence. The second set of equations is rather long but it shows the logical essence of Nelson lattices. This formalization aims at the construction of algebraic model of rough sets [9] in our future submissions. Section 4 contains all items from Th. 1.2 and 1.3 (and the itemization is given in the text). In the fifth section we provide full formal proof of Th. 2.1 p. 75 [16].
