Strong amalgamation propertyStrong amalgamation property|
A,B,C ∈ K and A ≠ Ø there exists a structure D ∈ K and embeddings f ' : B → D, g' : C → D such that f 'of = g'og and Im(f ')∩Im(g') = Ø, where Im(f ') = {f '(x) | x ∈ B}. |

A,B,C ∈ K there exists a structure D ∈ K and embeddings f ' : B → D, g' : C → D such that f 'of = g 'og and f '[B]∩g '[C] = (f ' of)[A] = (g ' og)[A], where for any set X and function h on X, h[X] = {h(x) | x ∈ X}. |

I don't understand: if f 'of = g'og, how can it be Im(f ')∩Im(g') = Ø? It seems to me that it should be f' of (\mathbf A) ⊆ Im(f ')∩Im(g'). But perhaps I missed something. Franco Montagna |
An amalgam is a tuple (A,f,B,g,C) such that A,B,C are structures of the same signature, and f : A → B, g : A → C are embeddings (injective morphisms).
A class K of structures is said to have the strong amalgamation property, or SAP for short, if for every amalgam with A,B,C ∈ K there exists a structure D ∈ K and embeddings f ' : B → D, g' : C → D such that f 'of = g 'og and f '[B]∩g '[C] = (f ' of)[A] = (g ' og)[A], where for any set X and function h on X, h[X] = {h(x) | x ∈ X}.
