Abstract

In this note we prove that divisible residuated semilattices have some specific algebraic properties. We show that: (1) for normal and divisible residuated semilattices representability is equivalent to the existence of a join term, (2) any integral divisible residuated semilattice is distributive, and (3) a finite divisible residuated semilattice is integral and commutative.
