Riassunto

Function Algebras on Finite Sets gives a broad introduction to the subject, leading up to the cutting edge of research. The general concepts of the Universal Algebra are given in the first part of the book, to familiarize the reader from the very beginning on with the algebraic side of function algebras. The second part covers the following topics: Galois-connection between function algebras and relation algebras, completeness criterions, and clone theory.

Recensione

From the reviews:

"‘The aim of the present book is to introduce the reader to the theory of function algebras and to give the latest state of research for some selected fields.’ ... This book will be useful for anyone interested in universal algebra and algebraic foundations of many-valued logics." (Béla Csákány, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 74, 2008)
