Pseudocomplemented distributive lattices
Abbreviation: pcDLat
Definition
A \emph{pseudocomplemented distributive lattice} is a structure $\mathbf{L}=\langle L,\vee,0,\wedge,^*\rangle$ such that
$\langle L,\vee,0,\wedge\rangle $ is a distributive lattices with bottom element $0$
$x^*$ is the \emph{pseudo complement} of $x$: $y\leq x^* \iff x\wedge y=0$
Morphisms
Let $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{M}$ be pseudocomplemented distributive lattices. A morphism from $\mathbf{L}$ to $\mathbf{M}$ is a function $h:L\rightarrow M$ that is a homomorphism:
$h(x\vee y)=h(x)\vee h(y)$, $h(x\wedge y)=h(x)\wedge h(y)$, $h(0)=0$, $h(x^*)=h(x)^*$
Definition
A \emph{pseudocomplemented distributive lattice} is a structure $\mathbf{L}=\langle L,\vee,0,\wedge,^*\rangle$ such that
$\langle L,\vee,0,\wedge\rangle $ is a distributive lattices
$0$ is the bottom element: $0\leq x$
$x\wedge(x\wedge y)^*=x\wedge y^*$
$x\wedge 0^*=x$
$0^{**}=0$

Basic results
Pseudocomplemented distributive lattices are term equivalent to distributive p-algebras.
