In our previous papers we introduced the concept of an NMV-algebra which is a non-associative modification of an MV-algebra. The natural question arises if an NMV-algebra can be converted into a residuated structure, too. Contrary to MV-algebras, NMV-algebras are not based on lattices but only on directed posets and the binary operation need not be associative and hence we cannot expect to obtain a residuated lattice but only an essentially weaker structure called a conditionally residuated poset. Considering several additional natural conditions we show that every NMV-algebra can be converted in such a structure. Also conversely, every such structure can be organized into an NMV-algebra. Further, we study a bit more stronger version of an algebra where the binary operation is even monotonous. We show that such an algebra can be organized into a residuated poset and, conversely, every residuated poset can be converted in this structure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-04T19:55:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "06D35", "03G10", "06A11" ], "keywords": [ "non-associative mv-algebras", "nmv-algebra", "residuated poset", "binary operation", "residuation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
