For each k> k > 2, three logical-functional languages are introduced for the set of functions of k-valued logic: the positive expressibility language Pos*, the first-order language l L*, and the second-order language 2L*. On the basis of the notion of expressibility in a language, the corresponding closure operators are defined. It is proved that the operators of 1 L*-closure and 2L*-closure coincide. The 1 L^-closed and Pos^-closed classes are described with the help of symmetric groups and symmetric semigroups. The expressibility in the languages 1L* and Pos* is compared with the parametric expressibility and the expressibility by terms.
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.
