Abstract

It is well known that a Boolean algebra is one of the most important algebra for engineering. A fuzzy algebra, which is referred to also as a Kleen algebra, is obtained from a Boolean algebra by replacing the complementary law in the axioms of a Bloolean algebra with the Kleen's law, where the Kleen's law is a weaker condition than the complementary law. Removal of the Kleen's law from a Kleen algebra gives a De Morgan algebra. In this paper, we generate lattice structures of the above related algebraic systems having finite elements by using a computer. From the result, we could find out a hypothesis that the structure excepting for each element name between a Kleene algebra and a De Morgan algebra is the same from the lattice standpoint.
