Abstract
Drawing on the classic paper by Chellas [8], we propose a general algebraic framework for studying a binary operation of conditional that models universal features of the “if …, then …” connective as strictly related to the unary modal necessity operator. To this end, we introduce a variety of conditional algebras, and we develop its duality and canonical extensions theory.
期刊介绍:
The journal Annals of Pure and Applied Logic publishes high quality papers in all areas of mathematical logic as well as applications of logic in mathematics, in theoretical computer science and in other related disciplines. All submissions to the journal should be mathematically correct, well written (preferably in English)and contain relevant new results that are of significant interest to a substantial number of logicians. The journal also considers submissions that are somewhat too long to be published by other journals while being too short to form a separate memoir provided that they are of particular outstanding quality and broad interest. In addition, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic occasionally publishes special issues of selected papers from well-chosen conferences in pure and applied logic.
