Modal restriction semigroups: towards an algebra of functions

M Jackson, T Stokes - International Journal of Algebra and …, 2011 - World Scientific
Restriction semigroups model algebras of partial maps under composition and domain.
Here we consider restriction semigroups for which the usual Boolean operations on …

Undecidability of representability as binary relations

R Hirsch, M Jackson - The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 2012 - cambridge.org
In this article we establish the undecidability of representability and of finite representability
as algebras of binary relations in a wide range of signatures. In particular, representability …

Semigroups with if–then–else and halting programs

M Jackson, T Stokes - International Journal of Algebra and …, 2009 - World Scientific
The" if–then–else" construction is one of the most elementary programming commands, and
its abstract laws have been widely studied, starting with McCarthy. Possibly, the most …

Well-structured program equivalence is highly undecidable

R Goldblatt, M Jackson - ACM Transactions on Computational Logic …, 2012 - dl.acm.org
We show that strict deterministic propositional dynamic logic with intersection is highly
undecidable, solving a problem in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. In fact we show …

On representing semigroups with subsemilattices

M Jackson, T Stokes - Journal of Algebra, 2013 - Elsevier
We examine the problem of representing semigroups as binary relations, partial maps and
injective functions, with the constraint that certain pre-designated idempotent elements must …

Comparison semigroups and algebras of transformations

T Stokes - Semigroup Forum, 2010 - Springer
We characterize algebras of transformations on a set under the operations of composition
and the pointwise switching function defined as follows:(f, g)[h, k](x)= h (x) if f (x)= g (x), and k …

Equivalent beliefs in dynamic doxastic logic

R Goldblatt - Krister Segerberg on logic of actions, 2013 - Springer
Two propositions may be regarded as doxastically equivalent if revision of an agent's beliefs
to adopt either has the same effect on the agent's belief state. We enrich the language of …

[PDF][PDF] UNDECIDABLE PROBLEMS ON REPRESENTABILITY AS BINARY RELATIONS.

R Hirsch, M Jackson - J. Symb. Log, 2000 - cs.ucl.ac.uk
We establish the undecidability of representability and of finite representability as algebras
of binary relations in a wide range of signatures. In particular, representability and finite …

[PDF][PDF] Mailbox¶ Generalising congruence regularity for varieties

M Jackson - algebra universalis, 2002 - researchgate.net
Numerous authors have given complete descriptions of those varieties whose members
have all congruences determined by the congruence class containing a given nullary …

Joins of subalgebras and normals in 0-regular varieties

N McConnell, T Stokes - Algebra universalis, 2015 - Springer
Abstract In any 0-normal variety (0-regular variety in which {0} is a subalgebra), every
congruence class containing 0 is a subalgebra. These “normal subalgebras” of a fixed …
