Abstract: For any MV-algebra A we equip the set I(A) of intervals in A with pointwise L ukasiewicz negation egx=egalphamidalphainx, (truncated) Minkowski sum, , pointwise L ukasiewicz conjunction xodoty=eg(egxoplusegy), the operators Deltax=[minx,minx], ablax=[maxx,maxx], and distinguished constants 0=[0,0],,,1=[1,1],,,,mathsfi=A. We list a few equations satisfied by the algebra mathcalI(A)=(I(A),0,1,mathsfi,eg,Delta,abla,oplus,odot), call IMV-algebra every model ofthese equations, and show that, conversely, every IMV-algebra is isomorphic to the IMV-algebra mathcalI(B) of all intervals in some MV-algebra B. We show that IMV-algebras are categorically equivalent to MV-algebras, and give a representation of free IMV-algebras. We construct L ukasiewicz interval logic, with its coNP-complete consequence relation, which we prove to be complete for mathcalI([0,1])-valuations. For any class mathsfQ of partially ordered algebras with operations that are monotone or antimonotone in each variable, we consider the generalization mathcalImathsfQ of the MV-algebraic functor mathcalI, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for mathcalImathsfQ to be a categorical equivalence. These conditions are satisfied, e.g., by all subquasivarieties of residuated lattices.
