Abstract
We characterize when an equivalence relation on the base set of a weak lattice \(\mathbf{L}=(L,\sqcup ,\sqcap )\) becomes a congruence on \(\mathbf{L}\) provided it has convex classes. We show that an equivalence relation on L is a congruence on \(\mathbf{L}\) if it satisfies the substitution property for comparable elements. Conditions under which congruence classes are convex are studied. If one fundamental operation of \(\mathbf{L}\) is commutative then \(\mathbf{L}\) is congruence distributive and all congruences of \(\mathbf{L}\) have convex classes.
