BF-algebra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, BF algebras are a class of algebraic structures arising out of a symmetric "Yin Yang" concept for Bipolar Fuzzy logic, the name was introduced by Andrzej Walendziak in 2007. The name covers discrete versions, but a canonical example arises in the BF space [-1,0]x[0,1] of pairs of (false-ness, truth-ness).

Definition

[edit]

A BF-algebra is a non-empty subset with a constant and a binary operation satisfying the following:

Example

[edit]

Let be the set of integers and '' be the binary operation 'subtraction'. Then the algebraic structure obeys the following properties:
