\abbreviation{MV}

\begin{definition}
An \emph{MV-algebra} (short for \emph{multivalued logic algebra}) is a
structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A, +, 0, \neg\rangle$ such that


$\langle A, +, 0\rangle$ is a \href{Commutative_monoids.pdf}{commutative monoid}


$\neg \neg x=x$


$x + \neg 0 = \neg 0$


$\neg(\neg x+y)+y = \neg(\neg y+x)+x$

Remark: This is the definition from \cite{COM2000}

\end{definition}

\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be MV-algebras. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}
$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y)$, $h(\neg x)=\neg h(x)$, $h(0)=0$
\end{morphisms}

\begin{definition}
An \emph{MV-algebra} is a
structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A, +, 0, \cdot, 1, \neg\rangle$ such that


$\langle A, \cdot, 1\rangle$ is a \href{Commutative_monoids.pdf}{commutative monoid}


$\neg $ is a DeMorgan involution for $+,\cdot $:  $\neg \neg x=x$, $x+y=\neg \left( \neg x\cdot \neg
y\right) $


$\neg 0=1$, $0\cdot x=0$, $\neg \left( \neg
x+y\right) +y=\neg \left( \neg y+x\right) +x$
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}
An \emph{MV-algebra} is a \href{Basic_logic_algebras.pdf}{basic logic algebra} $\mathbf{A}=\langle
A,\vee,0,\wedge,1,\cdot,\rightarrow\rangle$ that satisfies

MV:  $x\vee y=(x\rightarrow y)\rightarrow y$
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}
A \emph{Wajsberg algebra} is an algebra $\mathbf{A}=\langle A, \rightarrow, \neg, 1\rangle$ such that


$1\rightarrow x=x$


$(x\rightarrow y)\rightarrow ((y\rightarrow z) \rightarrow (x\rightarrow z) = 1$


$(x\rightarrow y)\rightarrow y = (y\rightarrow x)\rightarrow x$


$(\neg x\rightarrow \neg y)\rightarrow(y\rightarrow x)=1$

Remark: 
Wajsberg algebras are term-equivalent to MV-algebras via $x\rightarrow y=\neg x+y$, $1=\neg 0$ and $x + y=\neg x\rightarrow y$, $0=\neg 1$.

\end{definition}

\begin{definition}
A \emph{bounded hoop} is an algebra $\mathbf{A}=\langle A, \cdot, \rightarrow, 0, 1\rangle$ such that

$\langle A, \cdot, \rightarrow, 1\rangle$ is a hoop

$0\rightarrow x=1$

Remark: 
Bounded hoops are term-equivalent to Wajsberg algebras via $x\cdot y=\neg(x\rightarrow\neg y)$, $0=\neg 1$, and $\neg x=x\rightarrow 0$.
See \cite{BP1994} for details.
