Bounded distributive lattices
Abbreviation: BDLat
Definition
A \emph{bounded distributive lattice} is a structure L=⟨L,∨,0,∧,1⟩ such that
⟨L,∨,∧⟩ is a distributive lattice
0 is the least element: 0≤x
1 is the greatest element: x≤1
Morphisms
Let L and M be bounded distributive lattices. A morphism from L to M is a function h:L→M that is a homomorphism:
h(x∨y)=h(x)∨h(y), h(x∧y)=h(x)∧h(y), h(0)=0, h(1)=1
Examples
Example 1: ⟨P(S),∪,∅,∩,S⟩, the collection of subsets of a set S, with union, empty set, intersection, and the whole set S.
