Finitely axiomatizable varieties of BCK-algebras (Q1059653)

The main theorem of the paper is that the join of two relatively finitely axiomatizable subvarieties of a variety of expanded BCK-algebras is also finitely axiomatizable relative to the variety. The notion of a variety of expanded BCK-algebras, introduced in the paper, encompasses various varieties as examples, e.g. the variety of commutative complementary semigroups of Bosbach, the one of the Heyting algebras and the one of the MV-algebras of Chang.
