Distributive lattice-ordered semigroups

Abbreviation: DLOS

Definition

A \emph{distributive lattice ordered semigroup} is a structure A=A,,, of type 2,2,2 such that

A,, is a distributive lattice

A, is a semigroup

distributes over : x(yz)=(xy)(xz) and (xy)z=(xz)(yz)

Morphisms

Let A and B be distributive lattice-ordered semigroups. A morphism from A to B is a function h:AB that is a homomorphism: h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(xy)=h(x)h(y)

Examples

Example 1: Any collection A of binary relations on a set X such that A is closed under union, intersection and composition.

H. Andreka1) proves that these examples generate the variety DLOS.
