Bounded distributive lattices

Abbreviation: BDLat

Definition

A \emph{bounded distributive lattice} is a structure $\mathbf{L}=\langle L,\vee ,0,\wedge ,1\rangle $ such that

$\langle L,\vee ,\wedge \rangle $ is a distributive lattice

$0$ is the least element: $0\leq x$

$1$ is the greatest element: $x\leq 1$

Morphisms

Let $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{M}$ be bounded distributive lattices. A morphism from $\mathbf{L}$ to $\mathbf{M}$ is a function $h:L\to M$ that is a homomorphism:

$h(x\vee y)=h(x)\vee h(y)$, $h(x\wedge y)=h(x)\wedge h(y)$, $h(0)=0$, $h(1)=1$

Examples

Example 1: $\langle \mathcal P(S), \cup, \emptyset, \cap, S\rangle$, the collection of subsets of a set $S$, with union, empty set, intersection, and the whole set $S$.
