Left normal bands, strongly distributive skew lattices, implicative BCS-algebras, skew Boolean algebras, skew Boolean intersection algebras, and certain other non-commutative structures occur naturally as term reducts in the study of ternary discriminator algebras and the varieties that they generate, giving rise thereby to various classes of pointed discriminator varieties 1 that generalise the class of pointed ternary discriminator varieties. For each such class of varieties there is a corresponding pointed discriminator function that generalises the ternary discriminator. In this paper some of the classes of pointed discriminator varieties that are contained in the class of dual binary discriminator varieties are characterised. A key unifying property is that the principal ideals of an algebra in a dual binary discriminator variety are entirely determined by the dual binary discriminator term for that variety.
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.
