Product Łukasiewicz logic (Q701745): Difference between revisions

The authors develop a so-called product Łukasiewicz logic \(P{\L}\) which has the class of product MV-algebras as its semantic counterpart. These algebras have been investigated, e.g., by \textit{A. Di Nola} and \textit{A. Dvurečenskij} [Mult.-Valued Log. 6, No. 1--2, 193--215 (2001; Zbl 1016.06006)]. Also, for the sake of obtaining the standard completeness, an extension \(P{\L}'\) of the above logic is introduced. It is proved that the algebras of \(P{\L}'\) coincide with Montagna's \(PMV^+\) algebras. Several completeness theorems are proved. The extensions of product Łukasiewicz logics by a unary connective \(\triangle\) are investigated as well. The overall exposition of product Łukasiewicz logics in this paper is smooth and rather self-contained. The authors found various connections between their product logics and other fuzzy logical systems.
