Definition

A semiring with identity and zero is a structure S = (S, + ,0,·,1 ) of type (2,0,2,0) such that
(S, + ,0) is a commutative monoid
(S,·,1) is a monoid
0 is a zero for ·:   x = 0  and  x·0 = 0
· distributes over + :   x·(y + z) = x·y + x·z  and  (y + zx = y·x + z·x.

Morphisms

Let S and T be semirings with identity and zero. A morphism from S to T is a function h : ST that is a homomorphism: h(x + y) = h(x) + h(y)  and  h(x·y) = h(xh(y)  and  h(0) = 0  and  h(1) = 1.
