0 Introduction
Non-classical logic turns out to be a valuable device for computers to handle uncertain and fuzzy information. L-algebra has the characteristics of multivalued logic, intuitionistic logic, and quantum logic, therefore, it is closely related to algebraic logic and quantum structure, and is a non-classical logical algebra worth studying. In 2008, Rump[1] introduced and investigated the L-algebras, exploring their characteristics and properties. Additionally, various special definitions of L-algebras were presented, and it was demonstrated that every L-algebra admits a self-similar closure. In 2012, Rump and Yang[2] provided an equivalent characterization of intervals in lattice ordered groups that can be represented by L-algebra. In 2019, Wu et al.[3] explored its relationship with L-algebra by constructing effect algebra. In 2021, Ciungu[4] provided characterizations of a special L-algebra and explored its relationship with other algebraic structures. In 2023, Kologani[5] investigated the relationship between the quotient structure of CKL-algebras and BCK-algebras. In 2024, Hu et al.[6] studied bounded algebras from a different perspective by using a new kind of subalgebra (dual ideals) in bounded L-algebras. In the same year, Yun et al.[7] studied different ideals of CKL-algebras. Consequently, L-algebras have turned into a focal point of logic algebra study over the past decade.
When studying algebraic structures, triangle algebras are a powerful tool. In 2008, Van Gasse et al.[8] proposed triangle algebras and proved that there is a connection between these algebras and special residuated lattices. In 2010, Van Gasse et al.[9] explored various distinct filters of triangle algebras. In 2017, Zahiri et al.[10] characterized the structure of filters in triangle algebras. In 2021, Zahiri et al.[11] examined several crucial properties of distinct triangle algebras. In 2024, Zahiri et al.[12] introduced Stonean algebras and studied the association between the substructure of special triangle algebras. It can be observed that both triangle algebras and filters have a great significance in the study of fuzzy logics and logical algebras. Filters possess characteristics of non-classical algebraic logic and play a significant role in studying the completeness of logical systems[13-15]. From a logical perspective, all types of filters can be naturally regarded as a set of provable formulas. In fact, the notion of ideals in L-algebras is the same as the concept of filters in normal algebras. Therefore, by studying the structure and properties of triangle algebras and filters, we can extend these results to L-algebras, which is the motivation for our research. Under special conditions, triangle algebras are also triangle bounded L-algebras. That is, triangle bounded L-algebras are a generalization of triangle algebras, we can generalize some results of triangle algebras to triangle bounded L-algebras. Moreover, we can characterize the structure of triangle bounded L-algebras by defining triangle ideals and further study the corresponding logical systems through triangle bounded L-algebra and triangle ideals. By defining Stonean algebras, under special conditions, we can observe that the complement space of a triangle bounded L-algebras forms a complementary lattice.
The primary objective of this study is to explore triangle bounded L-algebras and triangle ideals. Firstly, we extend the definition of bounded L-algebra to the notion of triangle bounded L-algebras by adding a constant u {0, 1} and two unary operations ν and μ. We present several examples of triangle bounded L-algebras with different conditions and explore their properties. Moreover, we investigate the connection between triangle bounded L-algebras with special conditions and u, ν, and μ, respectively. Secondly, we introduce the concept of triangle ideals in triangle bounded L-algebras to explore the connection between the triangle ideal I of triangle bounded L-algebra L and the ideal IE (L) of bounded L-algebra E (L) . In addition, by introducing the definition of Stonean triangle bounded L-algebras, we study their properties and the connection between Stonean triangle bounded L-algebras and Stonean triangle ideals. We classify and study various classes of triangle ideals, including Stonean triangle ideals, extended Stonean triangle ideals, and lattice ideals. Finally, we investigate the interrelationships among these various types of triangle ideals.
1 Preliminaries
Definition 1.1[1] For any ω, φ, ψL, if the algebra (L, →, 1) satisfies the following conditions, then it is called an L-algebra.
L11ω=ω, ωω=ω1=1;
L2 (ωφ) (ωψ) = (φω) (φψ) ;
L3ωφ=φω=1 implies ω=φ.
If the operation → is taken as logical implication, then there is a partial order on L defined by φψiffφψ=1.
Definition 1.2[2] An L-algebra is bounded if it contains the smallest element 0. In a bounded L-algebra L, if the operation :ωω′ is bijective, in which ω′=ω→0 and ωL, then we call L a negation. The inverse mapping is denoted by ωω~.
In Ref.[ 5 ], the L-algebra L has double negation, if ω′=ω~ for any ωL.
Definition 1.3[4] If the L-algebra L satisfies the condition (K) : ω→ (φω) =1, for any ω, φL, then it is called a KL-algebra.
Definition 1.4[4] If the L-algebra L satisfies the condition (C) : (φ→ (ψω) ) → (ψ→ (φω) ) =1, for any ψ, ω, φL, then it is called a CL-algebra.
In Ref.[ 4 ], we can find that the CL-algebra is satisfied with condition (K) .
Example1.1[5] (L={0, φ, ψ, 1}, →, 0, 1) is a bounded CL-algebra and also a KL-algebra, where the operation → defined on L is presented in Table1.
Table1Cayley table for the binary operation → on L
Definition 1.5[7] In an L-algebra L, if
( (φψ) ω) ( (ψφ) ω) = ( (φψ) ω) ω
For every φ, ψ, ωL, then it is called a semiregular L-algebra.
Proposition 1.1[1] In an L-algebra L, if φψ, then ωφωψ for any φ, ψ, ωL.
Example1.2[6] (L={0, φ, ψ, 1}, →, 0, 1) is a semiregular L-algebra, as shown in Fig.1, in which the operation → defined on L is presented in Table2.

Table2Cayley table for the binary operation → on L
Proposition 1.2[8] For any φ, ψ, ωL, if L is an L-algebra, then the following conclusions are equivalent.
1) φψφ;
2) φψψωφω;
3) ( (φψ) →ω) →ω≤ ( (φψ) →ω) → ( (ψφ) →ω) .
We can find that a semiregular L-algebra satisfies the condition (K) .
Definition 1.6[1] For any φ, ψL, if the subset I of L-algebra L is called an ideal, the following conditions are satisfied:
1) 1∈I;
2) φ, φψIψI;
3) φI (φψ) →ψI;
4) φIψφ, ψ→ (φψ) ∈I.
In Ref.[5], we can find that {1} and L are two ideals of L-algebra L. Moreover, if L is a KL-algebra, then 4) can be omitted, and if L is a CL-algebra, then 3) and 4) can be omitted.
Definition 1.7[10] We call A= (A, ∧, ∨, *, , 0, 1) a residuated lattice, if
1) (A, ∧, ∨, 0, 1) is a bounded lattice;
2) (A, *, 1) is a commutative monoid;
3) φ*ψω iff φψω for any φ, ψ, ωA.
Definition 1.8 [16] In a residuated lattice A, if φ* (φψ) =φψ, for any φ, ψA, then A is called a divisible residuated lattice.
Proposition 1.3[16] A divisible residuated lattice is an L-algebra.
Definition 1.9[10] The structure A= (A, ∧, ∨, *, , ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is called a triangle algebra, if A can forms a residuated lattice, and for all φ, ψA, we have:
(T.1) νφφ, (T.1′) φμφ
(T.1) νφφ, (T.1′) φμφ
(T.2) νφννφ, (T.2′) μμφμφ
(T.3) ν (φψ) =νφνψ, (T.3′) μ (φψ) = μφμψ
(T.4) ν (φψ) =νφνψ, (T.4′) μ (φψ) = μφμψ
(T.5) ν1=1, (T.5′) μ0=0
(T.6) νu=0, (T.6′) μu=1
(T.7) νμφ=μφ, (T.7′) μνφ=νφ
(T.8) ν (φψ) ≤νφνψ
(T.9) (νφνψ) * (μφμψ) ≤ (φψ) , where φψ= (φψ) * (ψφ)
(T.10) νφνψν (νφνψ)
2 Triangle Bounded L-algebras
By generalizing the notion of bounded L-algebra, that is, by introducing a constant u (distinct from 0 and 1) and two unary operations v and μ, we obtain the definition of triangle bounded L-algebras. In addition, some examples of triangle bounded L-algebras with different conditions are illustrated, and the properties of these algebras are also studied.
Definition 2.1 The structure (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is called a triangle bounded L-algebra, if (L, →, 0, 1) is a bounded L-algebra, and for any φ, ωL, we have:
(TL1) νφφ, (TL1′) φμφ
(TL2) νφννφ, (TL2′) μμφμφ
(TL3) ν1=1, (TL3′) μ0=0
(TL4) νu=0, (TL4′) μu=1
(TL5) νμφ=μφ, (TL5′) μνφ=νφ
(TL6) If φω, then μφμω
(TL7) ν (φω) ≤νφνω
(TL8) If νφ=νω, μφ=μω, then φ=ω
(TL9) νφνων (νφνω)
From (TL1) and (TL2) , it is obvious that ννφ=νφ in a triangle bounded L-algebra L. Similarly, from (TL1′) and (TL2′) , we have μμφ=μφ. From (TL1) and (TL9) , νφνω=ν (νφνω) can be gotten. (TL6) and (TL7) implies that ν and μ are increasing operations. According to the conditions (TL1′) , (TL2′) , and (TL6) , it can be inferred that φμμφ=μφ and if φω, then μφμω, for any φ, ωL. Therefore, μ is a closure on L. According to (TL1) , (TL2) , and (TL7) , it can be inferred that ννφ=νφφ and if φω, then νφνω, for any φ, ωL, Therefore, ν is a dual closure on L.
If the triangle bounded L-algebra L satisfies conditions (K) , (C) , or it is a semiregular L-algebra, then it is called a triangle bounded KL-algebra, triangle bounded CL-algebra, or a triangle bounded semiregular L-algebra, respectively.
Example2.1[10] Let L= ([0, 1], ∧L, ∨L, *→, 0, 1) be a divisible residuated lattice, where φLω=max{φ, ω}, φLω=min{φ, ω}, φ*ω=min{φ, ω}, if φω, then φω=1; if ωφ, then φω=ω, for any φ, ωL.
Then for
Int (L) =φ1, φ2:φ1, φ2L×L, φ1φ2
We define:
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1*ω1, φ2*ω2
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1ω1φ2ω2, φ2ω2
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1Lω1, φ2Lω2
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1Lω1, φ2Lω2
For any [φ1, φ2], [ω1, ω2]∈Int (L) . The structure Int (L) = (Int (L) , ∧, ∨, ⊙, , [0, 0], [1, 1]) is also a residuated lattice.
We also define a partial order relation in Int (L) , [φ1, φ2]≤[ω1, ω2] φ1ω1 and φ2ω2, for any [φ1, φ2], [ω1, ω2] ∈ Int (L) . If we define v[φ1, φ2]= [φ1, φ1], and μ[φ1, φ2]=[φ2, φ2], u=[0, 1], for any [φ1, φ2]∈Int (L) , then
Int (L) = (Int (L) , , , , , v, μ, [0, 0], u, [1, 1])
is a triangle algebra.
Moreover, we can conclude that Int (L) is also a divisible residuated lattice. This is because, for any [φ1, φ2], [ω1, ω2]∈Int (L) , if there is an order relation between [φ1, φ2] and [ω1, ω2], we can get that [φ1, φ2]≤[ω1, ω2] or [φ1, φ2]≥[ω1, ω2]. If [φ1, φ2]≤[ω1, ω2], then
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1Lω1, φ2Lω2=φ1, φ2=φ1*1, φ2*1=φ1, φ2[1, 1]=φ1, φ2φ1ω1Lφ2ω2, φ2ω2=φ1, φ2φ1, φ2ω1, ω2
We can use the same method to prove that ifφ1, φ2ω1, ω2, thenφ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1, φ2φ1, φ2ω1, ω2.
If there is no order relation between [φ1, φ2] and [ω1, ω2], then we can get that φ1ω1 and φ2ω2, or φ1ω1 and φ2ω2. If φ1ω1 and φ2ω2, then
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1Lω1, φ2Lω2=φ1, ω2=φ1*ω2, φ2*ω2=φ1, φ21Lω2, ω2=φ1, φ2φ1ω1Lφ2ω2φ2ω2=φ1, φ2φ1, φ2ω1, ω2
We can use the same method to prove that when φ1ω1 and φ2ω2, we have
φ1, φ2ω1, ω2=φ1, φ2φ1, φ2ω1, ω2
Therefore, Int (L) is a divisible residuated lattice (as shown in Fig.2) , according to Definition 1.8.
It is easily evident that Int (L) = (Int (L) , ∧, ∨, ⊙, , v, μ, [0, 0], u, [1, 1]) is also a triangle bounded L-algebras, according to Definition 2.1 and Proposition 1.3.
Consequently, triangle bounded L-algebras are generalization of triangle algebras.
Fig.2Hasse diagram of Int (L)
Remark 2.1 If L= (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, then νφ=νω and μφ=μω iff φ=ω for any φ, ωL.
Proof For any φ, ωL, according to (TL8) , if νφ=νω and μφ=μω, then φ=ω. If φ=ω, according to (TL6) , then μφμω, μωμφ. Therefore, according to (L3) , μφ=μω. And according to (TL3) and (TL7) , there is 1=ν1=ν (φω) ≤νφνω and 1=ν1=ν (ωφ) ≤νωνφ. Therefore, according to (L3) , νφ=νω. Consequently, if φ=ω, then νφ=νω and μφ=μω. Therefore, νφ=νω and μφ= μω iff φ= ω for any φ, ωL.
In a special case, we can get that a triangle bounded L-algebra solely through the operation ν.
Proposition 2.1 Let (L, →, 0, 1) be a bounded KL-algebra with double negation, u′=u for exists uL, and ν satisfies (TL1) - (TL5) and (TL7) - (TL9) . If we define μφ= (νφ′) for any φL, then (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is a triangle bounded L-algebra.
Proof Let (L, →, 0, 1) be a bounded KL-algebra with double negation. According to (TL1) , we can get that νφ′φ′, and so φ=φ″≤ (νφ′) =μφ. So (TL1) holds.
We can obtain that νφ′=ν (νφ′) =ν (νφ′) , according to (TL1) , (TL2) and double negation. Therefore μμφ= (ν (νφ′) ″) = (ν (νφ′) ) = (νφ′) =μφ So (TL2) holds.
μ0=ν0''= (ν1) '=1'=0
So (TL3) holds.
Using the condition u′=u, we can conclude that μu= (νu′) = (νu) =0=1, by (TL4) . So (TL4′) holds.
Because νμφ′=μφ′ by (TL5) , we can get that ν (νφ) =ν (νφ″) = (νφ) , and so μνφ= (ν (νφ) ) = (νφ) =νφ. So (TL5′) holds.
If φω, then 1=ν1=ν (ω′φ′) ≤νω′νφ′, since ω′φ′. So we have νω′νφ′. We can conclude that μφ= (νφ′) ≤ (νω′) =μω. So (TL6) holds.
Therefore, (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is a triangle bounded L-algebra.
Definition 2.2 In a triangle bounded L-algebra L= (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) , we set E (L) ={φL|νφ= φ}, ν (L) ={νφ|φL}, and μ (L) ={μφ|φL}.
It can be observed that νφ, μφE (L) , since ννφ=φ and νμφ=μφ, for all φL.
Proposition 2.2 If L= (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, then
E (L) =ν (L) =μ (L) =ν (E (L) ) =μ (E (L) )
Proof If φE (L) L, then φ=νφν (L) for all φL. Therefore, E (L) ν (L) .
If φν (L) L, then φ=νω=μνωμ (L) , since (TL5′) and νωE (L) , for some ωL. Therefore, ν (L) μ (L) .
If φμ (L) , then φ=μω=νμων (E (L) ) , since (TL5) and μωE (L) , for some ωL. Therefore, μ (L) ν (E (L) ) .
If φν (E (L) ) , then φ=νω=μνωμ (E (L) ) for some ωE (L) by (TL5′) . Therefore, ν (E (L) ) μ (E (L) ) .
If φμ (E (L) ) , then φ=μωμ (E (L) ) for some ωE (L) . We can get that φ=μωE (L) , since νμω=μω.
Therefore, μ (E (L) ) E (L) .E (L) =ν (E (L) ) =ν (L) = μ (L) =μ (E (L) ) .
Corollary 2.1 If L is a triangle bounded L-algebra, then E (L) ={φL|μφ=φ} and (E (L) , →, 0, 1) constitutes a bounded L-algebra.
Proof Let L be a triangle bounded L-algebra. For any φ, ψE (L) L, we have μφ=μνφ=νφ=φ, by Definition 2.1 and 2.2. Therefore, {φL|μφ= φ}. According to (TL1) and (TL9) , we can get that νφνψ=φψ and so ν (νφνψ) =ν (φψ) . Therefore, φψ=ν (φψ) and so φψE (L) . Moreover, 0, 1∈E (L) , since ν0=0 and ν1=1. Consequently, (E (L) , →, 0, 1) constitutes a bounded L-algebra.
Proposition 2.3 If L is a triangle bounded L-algebra, then νφ=sup{ωE (L) |ωφ} and μφ=inf{ωE (L) |φω}, for any φL.
Proof If L is a triangle bounded L-algebra. Because ννφ=νφφ for any φL, so νφ∈{ωE (L) |ωφ}, we have νφ≤sup{ωE (L) |ωφ}. Moreover, νaνφ, since ν is an increasing operation, for every a∈{ωE (L) |ωφ}. Hence, sup{ωE (L) |ωφ}≤νφ. Consequently, νφ=sup{ωEL)|ωφ}.
We can get that μμφ=μφφ for any φL. Therefore, we have μφ∈{ωEL)|φω} and μφ≥inf{ωEL)|φω}. Moreover, inf{ωE (L) |φω}≥μφ, since φa μφμa=a for every a∈{ωE (L) |φω}, by Corollary 2.1. Therefore, μφ=inf{ωE (L) |φω}.
Given a bounded L-algebra, it is possible to generate some triangle bounded L-algebras. Some examples will be given to illustrate it.
Example2.2 If L= ({0, a, 1}, →L, 0, 1) is a bounded L-algebra, then A= (A, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 1]) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, in which, A={[0, 0], [0, 1], [a, a], [1, 1]}, ν[ ϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ1, ϱ1, and μϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ2, ϱ2, [φ1, φ2]∈A. The implication operations defined on L and A are presented in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.

Table4Cayley table for the implication operation of A
It is obvious that A= (A, , [0, 0], [1, 1]) is a bounded L-algebra. Moreover, for any ϱ1, ϱ2, φ1, φ2A, we can find that ϱ1ϱ2 in ϱ1, ϱ2 and ϱ1, ϱ2 φ1, φ2 iff ϱ1φ1 and ϱ2φ2.
We can conclude that νϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ1, ϱ1ϱ1, ϱ2, μϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ2, ϱ2ϱ1, ϱ2, νϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ1, ϱ2=ννϱ1, ϱ2, μϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ1, ϱ2=μμϱ1, ϱ2, ν[1, 1]=[1, 1], μ[0, 0]=[0, 0], νμϱ1, ϱ2=νϱ2, ϱ2=ϱ2, ϱ2=μϱ1, ϱ2, ν[0, 1]=[0, 0], μ[0, 1]=[1, 1], and μνϱ1, ϱ2=μϱ1, ϱ1=ϱ1, ϱ1=νϱ1, ϱ2. So (TL1) - (TL5) and (TL1′) - (TL5′) holds.
We can observe that in A, ifϱ1, ϱ2φ1, φ2, then μϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ2, ϱ2φ1, φ2=μφ1, φ2. So (TL6) holds.
For (TL7) . Ifϱ1φ1ϱ2φ2, then
νϱ1, ϱ2φ1, φ2=νϱ1, ϱ2φ1, φ2=νϱ1Lφ1, ϱ2Lφ2=ϱ1Lφ1, ϱ1Lφ1=ϱ1, ϱ1φ1, φ1=νϱ1, ϱ1νφ1, φ2
If ϱ1φ1ϱ2φ2, in fact, this situation will result in 0→01→0, and 0→a 1→a, because 0→0=1 0=1→0 and 0→a=1 a=1→a.
We can find that
ν ([0, 1][0, 0]) =ν[0, 0]=[0, 0][1, 1]=[0, 0][0, 0]=ν[0, 1]ν[0, 0]
and
ν ([0, 1][a, a]) =ν[a, a]=[a, a][1, 1]=[0, 0][a, a]=ν[0, 1]ν[a, a]
Therefore,
νϱ1, ϱ2νφ1, φ2νϱ1, ϱ2νφ1, φ2
for anyϱ1, ϱ2, φ1, φ2A.So (TL7) holds.
If νϱ1, ϱ2=νφ1, φ2, μϱ1, ϱ2=μφ1, φ2, then νϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ1, ϱ1=φ1, φ1=νφ1, φ2 and μϱ1, ϱ2=ϱ2, ϱ2=φ2, φ2=μφ1, φ2.Therefore, ϱ1, ϱ2=φ1, φ2. So (TL8) holds.
νϱ1, ϱ2νφ1, φ2=ϱ1, ϱ1φ1, φ1=ϱ1φ1, ϱ1φ1=νϱ1φ1, Q1φ1=νϱ1, Q1φ1, φ1=ννϱ1, Q2νφ1, φ2
So (TL9) holds.
Therefore, we can conclude that A is a triangle bounded L-algebra.
Example2.3 If L= ({0, φ, ψ, ω, 1}, →L, 0, 1) is a bounded L-algebra, then B= (B, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 1]) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, in which, B={[0, 0], [0, 1], [φ, φ], [ψ, ψ], [ω, ω], [1, 1]}, ν[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ1, ψ1], and μ[ψ1, ψ2]= [ψ2, ψ2], for any [ψ1, ψ2], [ω1, ω2]∈B. The implication operations defined on L and B are presented in Tables 5 and 6, respectively.

It is obvious that B= (B, →, [0, 0], [1, 1]) is a bounded L-algebra. We can prove that (TL1) - (TL6) , (TL1′) - (TL5′) , and (TL8) - (TL9) hold, according to Example2.2.
For (TL7) . If ψ1ω1ψ2ω2, then
νψ1, ψ2ω1, ω2=νψ1Lω1, ψ2Lω2=ψ1Lω1, ψ1Lω1=ψ1, ψ1ω1, ω1=νψ1, ψ2νω1, ω2
For any [ψ1, ψ2], [ω1, ω2]∈B. If ψ1ω1ψ2ω2, in fact, this situation will result in 0→01→0 and 0→σ1→σ, where σ∈{φ, ψ, ω}, because 0→0=10=1→0 and 0→σ=1σ=1→σ. We can get that
ν ([0, 1][0, 0]) =ν[0, 0]=[0, 0][1, 1]=[0, 0][0, 0]=ν[0, 1]ν[0, 0]
and
ν ([0, 1][σ, σ]) =ν[σ, σ]=[σ, σ][1, 1]=[0, 0][σ, σ]=ν[0, 1]ν[σ, σ]
Therefore,
νψ1, ψ2ω1, ω2νψ1, ψ2νω1, ω2
For any [ψ1, ψ2], [ω1, ω2]∈B.So (TL7) holds.
Consequently, B is a triangle bounded L-algebra.
We can give an infinite example of triangle bounded L-algebras, according to Example2.3. If L= ({0, s, t, ..., n, ..., 1}, →L, 0, 1) is a bounded L-algebra, then B= (B, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 1]) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, in which,
B={[0, 0], [0, 1], [s, s], [t, t], , [n, n], , [1, 1]}νφ1, φ2=φ1, φ1, and μφ1, φ2=φ2, φ2, for any φ1, φ2B.
Example2.4 If L= ({0, a, 1}, →L, 0, 1) is a bounded L-algebra, then C= (C, →, ν, μ, [0, a], [0, 1], [1, 1]) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, where C={[0, a], [a, a], [0, 1], [1, 1]}, ν[0, 1]=ν [0, a]=μ[0, a]=ν[a, a]=[0, a], μ[a, a]=[a, a], and μ[1, 1]=μ[0, 1]=ν[1, 1]=[1, 1]. The implication operations defined on L and C are presented in Tables 7 and 8, respectively.

It is obvious that C= (C, →, [0, a], [1, 1]) is a semiregular L-algebra with negation. Moreover, we can find that ψ1ψ2 for any [ψ1, ψ2]∈C.
We use the same method as in Example2.2, We can find that (TL1) - (TL6) , (TL8) , and (TL1′) - (TL5′) hold.
For any [ψ1, ψ2], [ω1, ω2]∈C. If ψ1ω1ψ2ω2, then ν ([ψ1, ψ2]→[ω1, ω2]) =ν[ψ1Lω1, ψ2Lω2]=[ψ1Lω1, ψ1Lω1]=[ψ1, ψ1]→[ω1, ω1]=ν[ψ1, ψ2]→ν[ω1, ω2]. If ψ1ω1ψ2ω2, in fact, this situation will result in 0→01→a and 0→a1→a, because 0→0=1a=1→a and 0→a=1a=1→a. We can find that
ν ([0, 1][0, a]) =ν[a, a]=[0, a][1, 1]=[0, a][0, a]=ν[0, 1]ν[0, a]
and
ν ([0, 1][a, a]) =ν[a, a]=[0, a][1, 1]=[0, a][0, a]=ν[0, 1]ν[a, a]
Consequently, ν ([ψ1, ψ2]→[ω1, ω2]) ≤ν[ψ1, ψ2]→ν[ω1, ω2]. So (TL7) holds.
For (TL9) , we can obtain that (TL9) holds through verification. Therefore, we can conclude that C= (C, →, ν, μ, [0, a], [0, 1], [1, 1]) is a triangle bounded semiregular L-algebra.
Example2.5 If L= ({0, a, 1}, →L, 0, 1) is a bounded L-algebra, then D= (D, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [a, a], [1, 1]) is a triangle bounded L-algebra, in which, D={[0, 0], [a, a], [1, 1]}, ν[0, 0]=μ[0, 0]=ν[a, a]=[0, 0], and ν[1, 1]=μ[1, 1]=μ[a, a]=[1, 1]. The implication operations defined on L and D are presented in Tables 9 and 10, respectively.
Table9Cayley table for the implication operation of L
Table10Cayley table for the implication operation of D
It is obvious that (D, →, [0, 0], [1, 1]) is a bounded L-algebra. We use the same method as in Example2.2, and it can be concluded that D is a triangle bounded L-algebra and it is also a triangle semiregular L-algebra with negation.
In Example2.5, we can find that u′=[a, a]=[a, a]→[0, 0]=[a, a]=u. Moreover, since (ν[0, 0]) = (ν[1, 1]) =[1, 1]=[0, 0]=μ[0, 0], (ν[1, 1]) = (ν[0, 0]) =[0, 0]=[1, 1]=μ[1, 1], and (ν[a, a]) = (ν[a, a]) =[a, a]=[a, a]= μ[a, a], we can observe that μφ= (νφ′) for any φD. Therefore, this example can be used to explain the existence of the triangle bounded L-algebra given in Proposition 2.1.
In Ref.[8], a semiregular L-algebra L with negation can form a lattice with meet and join operations, where φω= (φ~ω~) →φ, φω= ( (φω) →φ′) ~for all φ, ωL.
We consider that the triangle semiregular L-algebra (AL×L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) with negation is generated by a semiregular L-algebra L with negation. For any [ψ1, ψ2], [ω1, ω2]∈A L×L, in which ψ1ψ2, ω1ω2, and we define [ψ1, ψ2]≤[ω1, ω2] ψ1ω1 and ψ2ω2. And the operations ν and μ are preserving meet and join operations for components, that is v[ψ1, ψ2]∨v[ω1, ω2]=v[ψ1ω1, ψ2ω2], v[ψ1, ψ2]∧v[ω1, ω2]=v[ψ1ω1, ψ2ω2], μ[ψ1, ψ2]∧μ[ω1, ω2]=μ[ψ1ω1, ψ2ω2], and μ[ψ1, ψ2]∨μ[ω1, ω2]=μ[ψ1ω1, ψ2ω2].
Theorem 2.1 If a semiregular L-algebra L with negation can generate a triangle semiregular L-algebra (A, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 1]) with negation, then ν[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ1, ψ1] and μ[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ2, ψ2] for any [ψ1, ψ2]∈A.
Proof We first prove that v[ψ1, ψ2]=v[ψ1, 1] for every [ψ1, ψ2]∈A. We can conclude that
vψ1, ψ2=vψ1, ψ2[0, 0]=vψ1, ψ2v[0, 1]=vψ1, 1
Suppose ν[ψ1, ψ2]=[ω1, ω2] and [ω1, ω2]≠[ψ1, ψ1] for [ω1, ω2]∈A. Then [ω1, ω2]=ν[ψ1, ψ2]=ν[ψ1, 1]=ν[ψ1, ψ1]≤[ψ1, ψ1]. We have ω1ψ1, since ω1=ψ1, then ψ1=ω1ω2ψ1, this implies that [ω1, ω2]=[ψ1, ψ1], which is a contradiction.
We can conclude that ν[ψ1, 1]=ν[ψ1, ψ2]=νν[ψ1, ψ2]=ν[ω1, ω2]=ν[ω1, 1], and [1, 1]=μ[0, 1]≤μ[ω1, 1]≤μ[ψ1, 1], since [0, 1]≤[ω1, 1]<[ψ1, 1]. Therefore, ν[ψ1, 1]=ν[ω1, 1] and μ[ψ1, 1]=μ[ω1, 1], we have [ψ1, 1]=[ω1, 1]. Then ψ1=ω1. Therefore, ν[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ1, ψ1] for every [ψ1, ψ2] in A.
Now, we prove that μ[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ2, ψ2] for every [ψ1, ψ2] in A. We can get that
μψ1, ψ2=μψ1, ψ2[1, 1]=μψ1, ψ2μ[0, 1]=μ0, ψ2
for every [ψ1, ψ2]∈A. Suppose μ[ψ1, ψ2]=[c1, c2] and [c1, c2]≠[ψ2, ψ2], for [c1, c2] in A. [c1, c2]=μ[ψ1, ψ2]=μ[0, ψ2]=μ[ψ2, ψ2]≥[ψ2, ψ2], we have c2ψ2. If c2=ψ2, then c1c2=ψ2c1, which would imply [c1, c2]≠ [ψ2, ψ2], a contradiction.
We can conclude that μ[0, ψ2]=μ[ψ1, ψ2]=μμ[ψ1, ψ2]=μ[c1, c2]=μ[0, c2], and [0, 0]=ν[0, 1]≥ν[0, c2]≥ν[0, ψ2], since [0, 1]≥[0, c2]≥[0, ψ2]. Hence, ν[0, ψ2]=ν[0, c2] and μ[0, ψ2]=μ[0, c2], we have [0, ψ2]=[0, c2]. Then ψ2=c2. Therefore, μ[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ2, ψ2] for every [ψ1, ψ2] in A.
Therefore, ν[ψ1, ψ2]=[ψ1, ψ1] and μ[ψ1, ψ2]= [ψ2, ψ2] for any [ψ1, ψ2]∈A.
It is worth noting that in Theorem 2.1, if [ω1, ω2]∈A, then we also require [ω1, 1], [0, ω2], [ω1, ω1], [ω2, ω2]∈A.
In an algebra X with join and meet operations, ψX is called meet irreducible, if for any ψ1, ψ2X such that ψ1ψ2=ψ, then ψ1=ψ or ψ2=ψ. Similarly, ψX is called join irreducible if for any ψ1, ψ2X, ψ1ψ2=ψ, then ψ1=ψ or ψ2=ψ.
Proposition 2.4 In a triangle semiregular L-algebra (A, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], u, [1, 1]) with negation, which is generated by a semiregular L-algebra L with negation. If [0, 0] is meet irreducible and [1, 1] is join irreducible, then u=[0, 1] or u=[ψ, ψ] for some ψL.
Proof Let u=[ψ1, ψ2] for some [ψ1, ψ2]∈A. If ψ1=ψ2, then u [ψ1, ψ1]. If ψ1ψ2, then u≠[ψ2, ψ2] and u≠[ψ1, ψ1]. We have v[ψ2, ψ2]≠vu= [0, 0]or μ[ψ1, ψ1]≠μu=[1, 1].
We can conclude ν[ψ2, ψ2]>ν[ψ1, ψ2]=νu=[0, 0], since [1, 1]=μu=μ[ψ1, ψ2]<μ[ψ2, ψ2], because μ and v are increasing. We can use the same method to prove μ[ψ1, ψ1]<[1, 1]. Therefore, we can conclude that ν[ψ2, ψ2]≠[0, 0] and μ[ψ1, ψ1]≠ [1, 1]. Since ν[0, ψ2]≤ν[ψ1, ψ2]=[0, 0], it follows that
ν[0, 1]νψ2, ψ2=ν ([0, 1]ψ2, ψ2=ν0, ψ2=[0, 0]
since [0, 0] is irreducible. Therefore, ν[0, 1]=[0, 0].
Since
[1, 1]=μψ1, ψ2μψ1, 1=μ ([0, 1]ψ1, ψ1=μ[0, 1]μψ1, ψ1
and [1, 1] is join irreducible, we can conclude that [1, 1]=μ[0, 1].
This means that v[0, 1]=vu and μ[0, 1]=μu, so we obtain u=[0, 1].
Corollary 2.2 If a linear semiregular L-algebra L with negation can generate a triangle semiregular L-algebra (A, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], u, [1, 1]) with negation, in which A L×L contains more than four elements, then u=[0, 1].
Proof We can find that (A, →, [0, 0], [1, 1]) is a linear semiregular L-algebra with negation, [0, 0] is meet irreducible and [1, 1] is join irreducible. According to Proposition 2.4, we can find that u=[ψ, ψ] or u=[0, 1], where 0<ψ<1 and ψL.
Now, we want to prove that u=[ψ, ψ] does not hold. Since A has more than four elements, for ωL{0, ψ, 1}, 0<ψω<1 or 0<ωψ<1. When 0<ψω<1, we have [1, 1]=μ[ψ, ψ]≤μ[ψ, ω]. So μ[ψ, ω]=μ[ψ, ψ]. For ν[ψ, ω], we have ν[ψ, ω] [0, ψ] or ν[ψ, ω]≤[0, ψ]. ν[ψ, ω]≤ [0, ψ] does not hold, since [0, 1]≤μ[0, 1]= μ[ψ, ψ]∧μ[0, 1]=μ[0, ψ]≤μν[ψ, ω]=ν[ψ, ω]≤ [ψ, ω], and so ω<1. Hence, ν[ψ, ω] [0, ψ]. Consequently, ν[ψ, ω]=νν[ψ, ω]<ν[0, ψ]≤ν[ψ, ψ]=[0, 0]. Then ν[ψ, ω]=ν[ψ, ψ]. Since μ[ψ, ω]=μ[ψ, ψ], we can get that [ψ, ω]=[ψ, ψ], a contradiction.
We can use the same method to prove when 0<ωψ<1, u=[ψ, ψ] does not hold. Therefore, we can conclude that u=[0, 1].
Example2.6 We set L= (L, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 1]) , in which, L={[0, 0], [0, a], [0, 1], [1, 1]}, ν[0, 0]=μ[0, 0]=ν[0, 1]=ν[0, a]=[0, 0], μ[0, a]=[0, a], ν[1, 1]=μ[1, 1]=μ[0, 1]=[1, 1].
The operation → of L is shown in Table11.
Table11Cayley table for the implication operation of L
It is obvious that L= (L, →, [0, 0], [1, 1]) is a linear bounded semiregular L-algebra with negation. Moreover, we can find that ψ1ψ2 for any [ψ1, ψ2]∈L.
It is easy to verify (TL1) - (TL6) , (TL8) , and (TL1′) - (TL5′) hold.
For (TL7) . We can find that ν ([0, 1]→[0, a]) = ν[0, a]=[0, 0]≤[1, 1]=ν[0, 1]→ν[0, a], ν ([0, 1]→[0, 0]) =ν[0, a]=[0, 0]≤[1, 1]= ν[0, 1]→ν[0, 0], and ν ([0, a]→[0, 0]) =ν[0, 1]= [0, 0] ≤[1, 1]= ν[0, a]→ν[0, 0]. The same methods are used to prove that ν ([ψ1, ψ2]→[ω1, ω2]) ≤ν[ψ1, ψ2]→ν[ω1, ω2] for any [ψ1, ψ2], [ω1, ω2]∈L. So (TL7) holds.
For (TL9) , we can obtain that (TL9) holds through verification.
Therefore, we can conclude that L= (L, →, ν, μ, [0, a], [0, 1], [1, 1]) is a linear triangle bounded semiregular L-algebra.
3 Triangle Ideals of Triangle Bounded L-algebras
In this section, we propose and explore triangle ideals of different types of triangle bounded L-algebras.
Definition 3.1The subset I of triangle bounded L-algebra L is referred to an triangle ideal if for any φ, ψL, the following conditions are satisfied:
1) 1∈I;
2) If φ, φψI, then ψI;
3) If φI, then (φψ) →ψI;
4) If φI, then ψφ, ψ→ (φψ) ∈I;
5) If φI, then νφI.
In a triangle ideal I, we have μφI if φI, since φμφ and Definition 3.1. We can easily discover that the triangle ideals of triangle bounded L-algebra L are special ideals of L-algebra, and {1} and L are two triangle ideals and they are trivial. It can be observed that when L can constitutes a triangle bounded KL-algebra, the set I is a triangle ideal if it only needs to satisfy conditions 1) , 2) , 3) , and 5) . If L can constitutes a triangle bounded CL-algebra, then I is a triangle ideal if it only needs to satisfy conditions 1) , 2) , and 5) .
Example3.1In Example2.2, I={[a, a], [1, 1]} is fulfilled with the conditions of the triangle ideal of a triangle bounded L-algebra. Thus, it is a triangle ideal of the triangle bounded L-algebra A.
Proposition 3.1Let (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) be a triangle bounded L-algebra. If I is a triangle ideal of the triangle bounded L-algebra L, then φI νφI and IE (L) are ideals of the bounded L-algebra E (L) .
Proof Let I be a triangle ideal of the triangle bounded L-algebra L. We have φI νφI, according to Definition 3.1 and (TL1) . It can be obtained that E (L) is a bounded L-algebra, according to Corollary 2.1. It is obvious that E (L) is a trivial ideal of E (L) . We can examine that IE (L) is satisfied with conditions of ideal of L-algebra, for any φ, ωE (L) L.
It is straightforward to examine that 1∈IE (L) . If φ, φωIE (L) , then φ, φωI and φ, φωE (L) . Since I is a triangle ideal of L and E (L) is an ideal of E (L) , ωI and ωE (L) . Therefore, ωIE (L) .
If φIE (L) , then φI and φE (L) . We can get that (φω) →ωI and ωφ, ω→ (φω) ∈I, since I is a triangle ideal of L. Moreover, we have (φω) →ωE (L) and ωφ, ω→ (φω) ∈ E (L) , since E (L) is a bounded L-algebra. Therefore, (φω) →ωIE (L) and ωφ, ω→ (φω) ∈ IE (L) .
Therefore, IE (L) is an ideal of E (L) .
Proposition 3.2Let (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) be a triangle bounded CL-algebra. If φI νφI and IE (L) are ideals of the bounded L-algebra E (L) , then IL is a triangle ideal of the triangle bounded CL-algebra L.
Proof If L is a triangle bounded CL-algebra and IE (L) is an ideal of E (L) , and φI νφI. Therefore, we only need to demonstrate that conditions 1) and 2) in Definition 3.1 are satisfied. We can find that 1∈IE (L) I. For any φ, ωL, if φ, φωI, then νφ, ν (φω) ∈I. Since νφ, ν (φω) ∈E (L) , νφ, ν (φω) ∈IE (L) . Because (νφνω) ∈E (L) and ν (φω) → (νφνω) =1∈IE (L) , we can get that (νφνω) ∈IE (L) . Because νφIE (L) , we have νωIE (L) I, and so ωI.
Therefore, I L is triangle ideal of the triangle bounded CL-algebra L.
Theorem 3.1If (L, →, ν, μ, 0, u, 1) is a triangle bounded CL-algebra and I L, then φI νφI and IE (L) are ideals of the bounded L-algebra E (L) iff I is a triangle ideal of L.
Proof According to Propositions 3.1 and 3.2, we can get that φIνφI and IE (L) are ideals of the bounded L-algebra E (L) iff I is a triangle ideal of the triangle bounded CL-algebra L.
Definition 3.2A bounded L-algebra L with negation is regarded as a Stonean bounded L-algebra if the supremum of φ′ and φ″ is 1, for any φL.
Definition 3.3A triangle bounded L-algebra L is regarded as a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra if L is a Stonean bounded L-algebra.
In Ref.[2], if L is a KL-algebra with negation and it satisfied condition φω iff ω′φ′ for any φ, ωL. Then L can define the meet and join operations.
Example3.2Let
L= ({[0, a], [a, a], [0, 1], [a, 1]}, , ν, μ, [0, a], [0, 1], [a, 1])
with Hasse diagram as shown in Fig.3, in which, 0≤a≤1, ν[0, 1]=ν[0, a]=μ[0, a]=ν[a, a]=[0, a], μ[a, a]=[a, a], and ν[a, 1]=μ[a, 1]=μ[0, 1]=[a, 1]. The operation → defined on L is shown in Table12.
Fig.3Hasse diagram of L
Table12Cayley table for the implication operation of L
It is obvious that
L= ({[0, a], [a, a], [0, 1], [a, 1]}, , ν, μ, [0, a], [0, 1], [a, 1])
It is a triangle bounded KL-algebra with negation and it satisfied condition xy iff y′x′, for all x, yL. Moreover, we find[0, a]∨[0, a]=[a, 1]∨[0, a]=[a, 1], [a, a]∨[a, a]=[0, 1]∨ [a, a]=[a, 1], [0, 1]∨[0, 1]=[a, a]∨[1, 1]= [a, 1], and [a, 1]∨[a, 1]= [0, a]∨[a, 1]=[a, 1]. Therefore, ϱ1, ϱ2'ϱ1, ϱ2''=[a, 1], for any ϱ1, ϱ2C.
It can be concluded that L is a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra.
Example3.3Let L= (L, →, ν, μ, [0, 0], [a, a], [1, 1]) be a triangle bounded L-algebra with Hasse diagram as shown in Fig.4, in which, L={[0, 0], [a, a], [1, 1]}, ν[0, 0]=μ[0, 0]=ν[a, a]=[0, 0], ν[1, 1]=μ[1, 1]=μ[a, a]=[1, 1]. The operation → of L is presented in Table13.
Fig.4Hasse diagram of L
Table13Cayley table for the implication operation of L
It is obvious that L is a triangle bounded L-algebra. However, the supremum of [a, a]=[a, a] and [a, a]=[a, a] is [a, a], not [1, 1].
Therefore, L is not a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra.
Proposition 3.3If L is a Stonean triangle bounded KL-algebra, then E (L) ={φL|νφ=φ} and S={φL| (νφ) =0} are Stonean bounded KL-algebras and are closed with respect to the operations ν and μ on L.
Proof Since L is a Stonean triangle bounded KL-algebra, φω=νφνω=ν (νφνω) =ν (φω) , for any φ, ωE (L) L. Therefore, E (L) ={φL|νφ= φ} is closed under the operation → in L. For any φE (L) , we have νφ=φE (L) and μφ=φE (L) , according to Corollary 2.1. Consequently, we can get that E (L) ={φL|νφ=φ} is a Stonean bounded KL-algebra and is closed under the operations ν and μ.
According to Proposition 1.1 and ωφω, we can find that (ν (φω) ) ′≤ (νω) ′=0, for every φ, ωS L. Therefore, it can be concluded that φωS and S={φ L| (νφ) =0} are closed under the operation → in L. Moreover, S={φL| (νφ) =0}is a Stonean bounded KL-algebra. For any φS, we have (ννφ) = (νφ) = 0, since ννφ= νφ and (νφ) =0. Therefore, S. Moreover, νφνμφ, since φμφ. Therefore, (νμφ) ≤ (νφ) =0. We can conclude that (νμφ) =0. Consequently μφS. As a result, S={φL| (νφ) =0} is closed under the operations ν and μ on L.
Proposition 3.4In a triangle bounded KL-algebra L with negation, we will demonstrate that the following conclusions hold and are equivalent.
1) (ν (φω) ) = (ν (ωφ) ) for any φ, ωL{0}.
2) (νωνφ) = (νφνω) for any φ, ωL{0}.
3) {φL| (νφ) =0}=L{0}.
Proof 1) 3) : For every φ, ωL\{0}, we can get that (ν (ωφ) ) = (ν (φω) ) . When ω= 1, (ν (1→φ) ) = (ν (φ→1) ) , that is (νφ) = (ν1) = 1′=0. It can be concluded that L\{0}{φL| (νφ) = 0}. Moreover, it is obvious that {φL| (νφ) =0} L\{0}. Therefore, {φL| (νφ) = 0}=L\{0}.
3) 1) :For any φ, ωL\{0}, if {φL| (νφ) =0}=L\{0}, then φ, ω∈{φL| (νφ) = 0}. We have (ν (φω) ) ≤ (νω) =0, since ωφω and Proposition 1.1. So, (ν (φω) ) =0. We can use the same method to obtain (ν (ωφ) ) =0. Therefore, (ν (φω) ) = (ν (ωφ) ) for any φ, ωL\{0}.
2) 3) : Let (νωνφ) = (νφνω) for any φ, ωL\{0}. If ω=1, then
(νωνφ) '= (νφνω) ' (ν1νφ) '= (νφν1) ' (νφ) '=1'=0
We can conclude that L\{0} {φL| (νφ) =0}. Moreover, it is obvious that {φL| (νφ) =0} L\{0}. Therefore, {φL| (νφ) =0}=L\{0}.
3) 2) : Let {φL| (νφ) =0}=L\{0}. Then for any φ, ωL\{0}={φL| (νφ) =0}, we have (νωνφ) ≤ (νφ) =0, since νφνωνφ and Proposition 1.1. Therefore, (νωνφ) =0. We can use the same method to obtain (νφνω) =0. Therefore, (νωνφ) = (νφνω) for any φ, ωL\{0}.
Theorem 3.2If the triangle bounded KL-algebra L satisfies the condition (νωνφ) = (νφνω) , for any φ, ωL\{0}, then L is a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra.
Proof According to Proposition 3.4, if (νφνω) ′= (νωνφ) ′, for any φ, ωL\{0}, then {φL| (νφ) ′=0}=L\{0}. We can conclude that φ′≤ (νφ) ′=0, since (TL1) and Proposition 1.1. Hence, φ′=0 and so φ″=1. Therefore, the supremum of φ′ and φ″ is 1, for any φL. Then L is a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra.
When L is a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra and L′={φ′|φL} is a complement space of L. Then we can observe that the supremum of φ and φ′ is 1, for any φL′. If the infimum of φ and φ′ is 0, for any φL′, then L′ forms a complementary lattice. In the following text, we will refer to Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra as the Stonean algebra, without causing any ambiguity.
Corollary 3.1If the triangle bounded KL-algebra L satisfies one of the conditions in Proposition 3.4, then L is a Stonean algebra.
Definition 3.4In a triangle bounded L-algebra L with negation, the triangle ideal I of L is a Stonean triangle ideal if the supremum of φ′ and φ″ belongs to I under ν operation, for any φL.
Definition 3.5In a triangle bounded L-algebra L with negation, the triangle ideal I is an extended Stonean triangle ideal if the supremum of () and () belongs to I, for any φL.
Remark 3.1Let L be a triangle bounded KL-algebra with negation and join operation. If I is a Stonean triangle ideal of L and ν (φω) =νφνω for any φ, ωL, then I is an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
ProofThe supremum of φ′ and φ″ belongs to I under ν operation, that is ν (φ″φ′) ∈I, for all φL, since I is a Stonean triangle ideal. Moreover,
νφ''φ'=νφ'νφ'' (νφ) '' (νφ) '
according to (TL7) . Therefore, ν (φ″φ′) → ( (νφ) ∨ (νφ) ) =1∈I. Since ν (φ″φ′) ∈I, we have (νφ) ∨ (νφ) I. Hence, we can get that the supremum of () and () belongs to I, for any φL. Therefore, I is an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
Example3.4In Example3.2, it is clear that I={[a, 1]} is fulfilled with the conditions of the ideal of a triangle bounded L-algebra. Thus, it is a triangle ideal of
L= ({[0, a], [a, a], [0, 1], [a, 1]}, , ν, μ, [0, a], [0, 1], [a, 1])
Moreover, we can find that {[a, 1]} is a Stonean triangle ideal of L and {[a, 1]} is also an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
Example3.5Let L= ({0, a, 1}, →, 0, a, 1) be a triangle bounded L-algebra, in which, μ0=ν0=νa=0 and ν1=μ1=μa=1. The operation → of L is presented in Table14.

We can prove that I={1} is an extended Stonean triangle ideal of L. However, we can find that the supremum of a′=a and a″=a do not belong to I. Consequently, I={1} is not a Stonean triangle ideal of L.
Theorem 3.3Let L be a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra. If I is a triangle ideal of L, then I is a Stonean triangle ideal of L.
Proof When L is a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra and I is a triangle ideal of L. For all φL, The supremum of φ′ and φ″ is 1, and so the supremum of φ′ and φ″ is also 1 under ν operation, since ν1=1 and 1∈I. Consequently, I is a Stonean triangle ideal of L.
Proposition 3.5In a triangle bounded L-algebra L with negation. If {1} is a Stonean triangle ideal of L, then L is Stonean algebra.
Proof Let {1} be a triangle ideal of L. Then the supremum of φ′ and φ″ belongs to {1} under ν operation, for any φL. Since νφφ and ν1=1, it can be concluded that the supremum of φ′ and φ″ is 1. Hence, L is a Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra.
Corollary 3.2In a triangle bounded L-algebra L with negation, {1} is a Stonean triangle ideal of L iff L is Stonean algebra.
Theorem 3.4Let I be an extended Stonean triangle ideal of the triangle bounded L-algebra L and J be a triangle ideal of L, where I J. Then J is an extended Stonean triangle ideal of L.
Proof Let I be an extended Stonean triangle ideal of L. Then the supremum of (νφ) and (νφ) belongs to I, for all φL. So, it can be concluded that the supremum of (νφ) and (νφ) ″ belongs to J, since I J. Consequently, J is an extended Stonean triangle ideal in L.
Corollary 3.3Let L be a triangle bounded L-algebra with negation. {1} is an extended Stonean triangle ideal of L iff every triangle ideal of L is also an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
Proposition 3.6In a Stonean triangle bounded KL-algebra L with join operation. If ν (φω) =νφνω for any φ, ωL, then triangle ideal I of L is also an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
Proof Let L be a Stonean triangle bounded KL-algebra with join operation, then {1} is a Stonean triangle ideal of L, according to Corollary 3.2. We can conclude that {1} is an extended Stonean triangle ideal of L by Remark 3.1. Therefore, every triangle ideal I is an extended Stonean triangle ideal in L, according to Corollary 3.3.
Proposition 3.7If I is a triangle ideal of a triangle bounded KL-algebra L with double negation and if φL, then φI or φ′I, then I is an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
Proof For every φL. When φI, we have φ″I, since νφI and νφ= (νφ) . Therefore, the supremum of (νφ) and (νφ) belongs to I. When φ I, we have φ′I, and so (νφ) ′L, since φ′≤ (νφ) . Thus the supremum of (νφ) and (νφ) belongs to I. Consequently, I is an extended Stonean triangle ideal.
Definition 3.6For any φ, ωL, if the subset I of a triangle bounded L-algebra L with the meet operation is referred to as a lattice ideal, the following conditions are satisfied:
1) If φI and φω, then ωI;
2) If φ, ωI, then φωI;
3) If φI, then νφI.
Example3.6In Example3.2, it is clear that I={[a, 1]} is fulfilled with the conditions of the lattice ideal. Thus, I={[a, 1]} is also a lattice ideal.
Definition 3.7 [2]We refer to (S, *, →, 1) as a left hoop if the following conditions are satisfied for any φ, ψ, ωS:
1) (S, *, 1) is a monoid;
2) φφ=1;
3) (φ*ψ) →ω=φ→ (φω) ;
4) (ψω) *ψ= (ωψ) *ω.
In Ref.[8], a semiregular L-algebra L with negation is a left hoop. Hence, we have φ*ωφω for any φ, ωL, since φωφ and φωω=1.
Proposition 3.8If L is a triangle semiregular L-algebra with negation, then a triangle ideal of L is a lattice ideal.
Proof If I is a triangle ideal of a triangle semiregular L-algebra L with negation, then I holds on conditions 1) and 3) of Definition 3.6. We only need to prove that φωI for any φ, ωI. Since φ*ωφω, φωφω. So φ→ (ωφω) =1∈ I. Since I is a triangle ideal, ωφωI. Hence, φωI, since ωI. Therefore, I can form a lattice ideal of L.
4 Conclusions
Triangle bounded L-algebras and ideals have a great significance in the study of fuzzy logics and logical algebras. This paper focuses on exploring triangle bounded L-algebras and triangle ideals. Firstly, we extend the definition of bounded L-algebra to the notion of triangle bounded L-algebras by adding a constant u {0, 1} and two unary operations ν and μ. Secondly, we defined the notion of triangle ideals of triangle bounded L-algebras to explore the connection between the triangle ideal I of triangle bounded L-algebra L and the ideal IE (L) of bounded L-algebra E (L) . In addition, by introducing the concept of Stonean triangle bounded L-algebra, we study its properties and the connection between Stonean triangle algebras and (extended) Stonean triangle ideals. Various classes of triangle ideals, including Stonean triangle ideals, extended Stonean triangle ideals, and lattice ideals, are introduced and studied. Finally, the interrelationships among various types of ideals are investigated. In the future, we will characterize the structure of triangle bounded L-algebras by studying closure operators, interior operators, and local bounded L-algebras, and further investigate closure operators and interior operators in Stonean spaces.
