Generators of projective MV-algebras (Q521708)

In the paper under review, the authors establish a necessary and sufficient condition for \(n\) elements of the free \(n\)-generator MV-algebra to generate a projective MV-algebra. This generalizes the characterization of the \(n\) free generators proved in [\textit{F. Lacava}, Algebra Univers. 57, No. 4, 455--462 (2007; Zbl 1132.06007)]. Using this, some classes of projective generators for bigenerated MV-algebras, are given. In particular, some effective procedures to determine, by elementary methods, generators of projective MV-algebras are explained.
