ON f-DERIVATIONS FROM SEMILATTICES TO LATTICES

In this paper, we introduce the notion of f-derivations from a semilattice S to a lattice L, as a generalization of derivation and f-derivation of lattices. Also, we define the simple f-derivation from S to L, and research the properties of them and the conditions for a lattice L to be distributive. Finally, we prove that a distributive lattice L is isomorphic to the class $SD_f(S,L)$ of all simple f-derivations on S to L for every ${\wedge}$-homomorphism $f:S{\rightarrow}L$ such that $f(x_0){\vee}f(y_0)=1$ for some $x_0,y_0{\in}S$, in particular, $$L{\simeq_-}=SD_f(S,L)$$ for every ${\wedge}$-homomorphism $f:S{\rightarrow}L$ such that $f(x_0)=1$ for some $x_0{\in}S$.
