Gödel algebras

Abbreviation: GödA

Definition

A \emph{Gödel algebra} is a Heyting algebras A=A,,0,,1, such that

(xy)(yx)=1

Remark: Gödel algebras are also called \emph{linear Heyting algebras} since subdirectly irreducible Gödel algebras are linearly ordered Heyting algebras.

Definition

A \emph{Gödel algebra} is a representable FLew-algebra A=A,,0,,1,, such that

xy=xy

Morphisms

Let A and B be Gödel algebras. A morphism from A to B is a function h:AB that is a homomorphism:

h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(0)=0, h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(1)=1, h(xy)=h(x)h(y)
