Bounded distributive lattices

Abbreviation: BDLat

Definition

A \emph{bounded distributive lattice} is a structure L=L,,0,,1L=L,,0,,1 such that

L,,L,, is a distributive lattice

00 is the least element: 0x0x

11 is the greatest element: x1x1

Morphisms

Let LL and MM be bounded distributive lattices. A morphism from LL to MM is a function h:LMh:LM that is a homomorphism:

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

Examples

Example 1: P(S),,,,SP(S),,,,S, the collection of subsets of a set SS, with union, empty set, intersection, and the whole set SS.
