In abstract algebra, a partial algebra is a generalization of universal algebra to partial operations.[1][2]
Example(s)
edit- partial groupoid
- field — the multiplicative inversion is the only proper partial operation[1]
- effect algebras[3]
Structure
editThere is a "Meta Birkhoff Theorem" by Andreka, Nemeti and Sain (1982).[1]
