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: 0x

1 is the greatest element: x1

Morphisms

Let L and M be bounded distributive lattices. A morphism from L to M is a function h:LM that is a homomorphism:

h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(xy)=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.
