Extended-order algebras are defined, whose operation extends the order relation of a poset with a greatest element. Most implicative algebras, including Hilbert algebras and BCK algebras fall within this context. Several classes of extended-order algebras are considered that lead to most well known multiplicative ordered structures by means of adjunction, once the completion process due to MacNeille is applied. In particular, complete distributive extended-order algebras are considered as a generalization of complete residuated lattices, to provide a structure that suits quite well for many-valued mathematics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
