Example Sentences
- "Finally it is shown that the compact elements in the congruence lattice of a De Morgan algebra form a Boolean sublattice."
- "By a topological de Morgan algebra we shall mean an abstract algebra (A,#92;land,#92;lor,#92;',l) where (A,#92;land,#92;lor,l) is a de Morgan algebra,"
- "If (L,#92;le,#123;⁻#125;) is a bounded distributive lattice with negation function (resp. a De Morgan algebra), then (L#92;langle#92;#33;#92;langleS#92;rangle#92;#33;#92;rangle,#92;le,#123;⁻#125;) constitutes also a bounded distributive lattice with negation function (resp. a De Morgan algebra); for every r#92;inL#92;langle#92;#33;#92;langleS#92;rangle#92;#33;#92;rangle its negation #92;overline#123;r#125;#92;inL#92;langle#92;#33;#92;langleS#92;rangle#92;#33;#92;rangle is defined by (#92;overline#123;r#125;,s)#61;#92;overline#123;(r,s)#125; for every s#92;inS."
