Abstract

In [12] it was shown that the factor semantics based on the notion ofT-F-sequences is a correct model of the Łukasiewicz's infinite-valued logics. But we could not consider some important aspects of the structure of this model because of the short size of paper. In this paper we give a more complete study of this problem: A new proof of the completeness of the factor semantic for Łukasiewicz's logic using Wajsberg algebras [3] (and not MV-algebras in [1]) and Symmetrical Heyting monoids [7] is proposed. Some consequences of such an approach are investigated.
