DEFORMATIONS OF d/BCK-ALGEBRAS

Abstract

In this paper, we study the effects of a deformation mapping on the resulting deformation d/BCK-algebra obtained via such a deformation mapping. Besides providing a method of constructing d-algebras from BCK-algebras, it also highlights the special properties of the standard BCK-algebras of posets as opposed to the properties of the class of divisible d/BCK-algebras which appear to be of interest and which form a new class of d/BCK-algebras insofar as its not having been identified before.
