Representations of D-posets (Q1907588)

A \(D\)-poset is a poset \((S,\leq, \ominus, 0,1)\) where \(\ominus\) is a partial binary operation such that \(b\ominus a\) is defined in \(S\) iff \(a\leq b\), and, in addition, (i) if \(a\leq b\), then \(b\geq b\ominus a\) and \(a= b\ominus (b\ominus a)\); (ii) if \(a\leq b\leq c\), then \(c\ominus b\leq c\ominus a\) and \((c\ominus a)\ominus (c\ominus b)= b\ominus a\). The reviewer and \textit{S. Pulmannová} [Rep. Math. Phys. 34, 151-170 (1994; Zbl 0820.03038)]\ introduced the notion of a \(D\)-test space which enables to characterize \(D\)-posets. Another representation via summable functions (partial functions) is given in the paper under review, and a comparison with \(D\)-test spaces is presented.
