Free L-algebras1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  12 March 2014

Extract

Dummett's LC [1] is a system which characterizes all formulas of the propositional calculus which are valid in every chain (for definitions and notation see the first section of [2]). An L-algebra is a Heyting algebra in which (x → y) + (yx) = 1 for all x, y. L-algebras bear the same relation to LC as Boolean algebras to the classical propositional calculus and Heyting algebras to the intuitionist propositional calculus.
