Abbreviation: BoolLat

Definition

A Boolean lattice is a bounded distributive lattice L = (L,∨,0,∧,1) such that
every element has a complement:   y(xy = 1  and  xy = 0).

Morphisms

Let L and M be bounded distributive lattices. A morphism from L to M is a function h : LM that is a bounded lattice homomorphism: h(xy) = h(x)∨h(y)  and  h(xy) = h(x)∧h(y)  and  h(0) = 0  and  h(1) = 1.

Some results

Examples

(P(S),∪,Ø,∩,S), the collection of subsets of a set S, with union, empty set, intersection, and the whole set S.
