One consequence of allowing multiple representations for each element of the represented algebra is that the quotient algebras are representable by their original algebras. We recall [35, 36] the notion of congruence, generalizing it somewhat. If is an algebra, then an equivalence relation, R, on Dom a is a congruence on if (a) for every fFuna, if xRy, l i n, then either f(xi . x, and f(y, y, are both undefined, or f(xi, x, Rf(yi . y, and Co) r(yp.

In a congruence, equivalent elements are indis tinguishable within the given algebra d3. If R is a congruence on , we define R to be the quotient algebra in the usual way [35, 36]. The natural mapping r: R maps an element x onto its equivalence class [x] Theorem 2.2. R ( where r is the natural mapping.

Distinguished constants are 0 ary functions. The inclusion of relations is a departure from the usual definitions given in, say, [11, 12]. However, it agrees with the notion of algebraic system in [13] For an algebra , a flowchart F over is constructed in the usual way as a directed graph having a finite number of boxes (i.e. nodes) of the types: Start: Input.

To show that an ordered set is a complete lattice requires only half as much work as the definitions would have us to believe. The following lemma (see [3, 4, 5], for example) which follows easily from Lemma 2.2.3, is usually stated in its dual form. Lemma 2.2.4. If (P; is an ordered set such that W S exists in P for every subset S of P , then (P; is a complete lattice. Note that in the above lemma the existence of W ; guarantees a bottom ....

The mappings Pol and Inv establish a Galois connection between sets of relations and sets of operations [7, 20]. By making use of this Galois connection we can obtain considerable insight into the relationship between different learning problems. The structure of the invariants of a set of operations has also been well studied (see [24] for example) Translating the known results into our notation, we ....

....equation = to be linear is that = for every quantity = 6 and = 6 We are here close to the general concept of a law; indeed the commutative law = will be satisfied by arbitrary quantities if and only if this linear determining equation holds on very region. Let me now quote from P.M. Cohn s [5]: Any systematic study of linear algebras would proceed by considering the possible sets of laws. This is precisely what Grassmann does. He immediately proves the following theorem: For products of two factors there are, apart from the product structure with no determining equations, and the ....

....we call separable any dynamic algebra in which inseparability is the identity relation. We let SDA denote the class of separable dynamic algebras. Separability can be expressed with the first order sentence 8a8b9p(ap = bp a = b) i.e. 8a8b(8p[ap = bp] a = b) This being a Horn sentence [Coh65, p235], it follows that SDA is closed under direct products [Hor51] Example 7 shows that SDA is closed under neither homomorphisms nor subalgebras. 3.

....having a minimum group congruence is, of course, equivalent to having a maximum group quotient. Given any monoid M , there is a group 1 (M) which is universal with respect to morphisms from M into groups. This is known variously as the fundamental group of M [25] the universal group of M [12] or the free group on the monoid M [11] In general, if M has a minimum group congruence, 1 (M) need not be the maximum group quotient of M . We can, however, give a sufficient condition for 1 (M) to be the maximum group quotient by using the least weakly self conjugate, planar submonoid e ....

This is in marked contrast to the case of varieties, where there are many inherently non finitely based finite semigroups which have all been described by the second author. 1 Introduction Let us first recall some basic facts and definitions from universal algebra (see [Malcev] [Cohn]) A variety is a class of universal algebras given by identities, i.e. formulas of the type (8x 1 ; x n ) u = v where u = u(x 1 ; x n ) and v = v(x 1 ; x n ) are terms. For example, the class of all abelian groups is a variety of groups given by the identity (8x; y) xy = ....
