Abstract

In this paper we investigate the finite model property (FMP) for varieties of BL-algebras. In particular, we provide a full classification of the FMP for those varieties of BL-algebras which are generated by a finite class of chains with finitely-many components.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that every non-trivial totally ordered cancellative hoop \(\mathcal {A}\) does not have rank, since \(\mathcal {A}/Rad(\mathcal {A})\) is an infinite cancellative hoop.
