The structure on its sub-object classifier is that of a Heyting algebra.

Heyting algebra -- Higher-order predicate -- Horn clause -- Hypothetical syllogism

In mathematics, a Heyting algebra, named after Arend Heyting, is a bounded lattice ( with join and meet operations written ∧ and ∨ and with least element 0 and greatest element 1 ) equipped with a binary operation a → b of implication such that ( a → b )∧ a ≤ b, and moreover a → b is the greatest such in the sense that if c ∧ a ≤ b then c ≤ a → b. From a logical standpoint, A → B is by this definition the weakest proposition for which modus ponens, the inference rule A → B, A ⊢ B, is sound.

Equivalently a Heyting algebra is a residuated lattice whose monoid operation a • b is a ∧ b ; yet another definition is as a posetal cartesian closed category with all finite sums.

Every Boolean algebra is a Heyting algebra when a → b is defined as usual as ¬ a ∨ b, as is every complete distributive lattice when a → b is taken to be the supremum of the set of all c for which a ∧ c ≤ b. The open sets of a topological space form a complete distributive lattice and hence a Heyting algebra.

In the finite case every nonempty distributive lattice, in particular every nonempty finite chain, is automatically bounded and complete and hence a Heyting algebra.

It can further be shown that a ≤ ¬¬ a, although the converse, ¬¬ a ≤ a, is not true in general, that is, double negation does not hold in general in a Heyting algebra.

Heyting algebras generalize Boolean algebras in the sense that a Heyting algebra satisfying a ∨¬ a = 1 ( excluded middle ), equivalently ¬¬ a = a ( double negation ), is a Boolean algebra.

Those elements of a Heyting algebra of the form ¬ a comprise a Boolean lattice, but in general this is not a subalgebra of H ( see below ).

The internal logic of an elementary topos is based on the Heyting algebra of subobjects of the terminal object 1 ordered by inclusion, equivalently the morphisms from 1 to the subobject classifier Ω.

Every Heyting algebra with exactly one coatom is subdirectly irreducible, whence every Heyting algebra can be made an SI by adjoining a new top.

In Martin-Löf type theory and higher-order Heyting arithmetic, the appropriate statement of the axiom of choice is ( depending on approach ) included as an axiom or provable as a theorem.

For instance, in Heyting arithmetic, one can prove that for any proposition p which does not contain quantifiers, is a theorem ( where x, y, z ... are the free variables in the proposition p ).

In intuitionistic logic, according to the Brouwer – Heyting – Kolmogorov interpretation, the negation of a proposition p is the proposition whose proofs are the refutations of p. In Kripke semantics where the semantic values of formulae are sets of possible worlds, negation is set-theoretic complementation.

A subalgebra of a Heyting algebra is a subset of containing 0 and 1 and closed under the operations and.

A Heyting algebra is a bounded lattice such that for all and in there is a greatest element of such that

A bounded lattice is a Heyting algebra if and only if all mappings are the lower adjoint of a monotone Galois connection.

Given a bounded lattice with largest and smallest elements 1 and 0, and a binary operation, these together form a Heyting algebra if and only if the following hold:

* Every totally ordered set that is a bounded lattice is also a Heyting algebra, where is equal to when, and 1 otherwise.

A complete Heyting algebra is a Heyting algebra that is a complete lattice.

The free object | free Heyting algebra over one generator ( aka Rieger – Nishimura lattice )

* Every Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice.

Hence Ω ( X ) is not an arbitrary complete lattice but a complete Heyting algebra ( also called frame or locale-the various names are primarily used to distinguish several categories that have the same class of objects but different morphisms: frame morphisms, locale morphisms and homomorphisms of complete Heyting algebras ).

A Heyting algebra that is a complete lattice is called a complete Heyting algebra.

Details on this characterization can be found in the articles on the " lattice-like " structures for which this is typically considered: see semilattice, lattice, Heyting algebra, and Boolean algebra.

Typical examples of distributive lattice are totally ordered sets, Boolean algebras, and Heyting algebras.

This approach was later developed by Arend Heyting and L. E. J. Brouwer ; see Łukasiewicz logic.

His student Arend Heyting postulated an intuitionistic logic, different from the classical Aristotelian logic ; this logic does not contain the law of the excluded middle and therefore frowns upon proofs by contradiction.

One semantics mirrors classical Boolean-valued semantics but uses Heyting algebras in place of Boolean algebras.

Formalized intuitionistic logic was originally developed by Arend Heyting to provide a formal basis for Brouwer's programme of intuitionism.

He became relatively isolated ; the development of intuitionism at its source was taken up by his student Arend Heyting.

Examples of lattices include Boolean algebras and Heyting algebras.

For instance, involutive negation characterizes Boolean algebras among Heyting algebras.

Like Boolean algebras, Heyting algebras form a variety axiomatizable with finitely many equations.

As lattices, Heyting algebras can be shown to be distributive.

We have chosen to give it at the end of the section since it deals with differential equations and thus is not purely linear algebra.

has no zero in F. By contrast, the fundamental theorem of algebra states that the field of complex numbers is algebraically closed.

In the context of abstract algebra, for example, a mathematical object is an algebraic structure such as a group, ring, or vector space.

* In linear algebra, an endomorphism of a vector space V is a linear operator V → V. An automorphism is an invertible linear operator on V. When the vector space is finite-dimensional, the automorphism group of V is the same as the general linear group, GL ( V ).

The same definition holds in any unital ring or algebra where a is any invertible element.

In addition to its obvious importance in geometry and calculus, area is related to the definition of determinants in linear algebra, and is a basic property of surfaces in differential geometry.

Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which combines techniques of abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with the language and the problems of geometry.

His notion of abelian category is now the basic object of study in homological algebra.

With the existence of an alpha channel, it is possible to express compositing image operations, using a compositing algebra.

In mathematics, an associative algebra A is an associative ring that has a compatible structure of a vector space over a certain field K or, more generally, of a module over a commutative ring R. Thus A is endowed with binary operations of addition and multiplication satisfying a number of axioms, including associativity of multiplication and distributivity, as well as compatible multiplication by the elements of the field K or the ring R.

Explicitly, is an associative algebra homomorphism if

* Given any Banach space X, the continuous linear operators A: X → X form a unitary associative algebra ( using composition of operators as multiplication ); this is a Banach algebra.

* An example of a non-unitary associative algebra is given by the set of all functions f: R → R whose limit as x nears infinity is zero.

* Any ring of characteristic n is a ( Z / nZ )- algebra in the same way.

* Any ring A is an algebra over its center Z ( A ), or over any subring of its center.

* Any commutative ring R is an algebra over itself, or any subring of R.
