Abbreviation: BCI

Definition

A BCI-algebra is a structure A = (A,·,0) of type (2,0) such that

(1):   ((x·y)·(x·z))·(z·y)  = 0,
(2):   (x·(x·y))·y  = 0,
(3):   x·x  = 0,
(4):   x·y = y·x = 0   ⇒  x = y, and
(5):   x·0  = 0   ⇒  x = 0.

Remark:

Morphisms

Let A and B be BCI-algebras. A morphism from A to B is a function h : AB that is a homomorphism: h(x·y) = h(xh(y) and h(0) = 0.
