\begin{definition}
An \emph{action algebra} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\vee,\bot,\cdot,1,^*,\backslash,/\rangle$ of type
$\langle 2,0,2,0,1,2,2\rangle$ such that
$\langle A,\vee,\bot,\cdot,1,^*\rangle$ is a \href{Kleene_algebras.pdf}{Kleene algebras}
$\backslash $ is the left residual of $\cdot$: $y\leq x\backslash z\Longleftrightarrow xy\leq z$
$/$ is the right residual of $\cdot$: $x\leq z/y\Longleftrightarrow xy\leq z$
Remark:
\end{definition}
\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be action algebras.
A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a
homomorphism:
$h(x\vee y)=h(x)\vee h(y)$, $h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y)$, $h(x\backslash y)=h(x)\backslash h(y)$,
$h(x/y)=h(x)/h(y)$, $h(x^*)=h(x)^*$, $h(\bot)=\bot$ and $h(1)=1$.
