Abstract

\({{\mathcal {M}} L}^{m}_n\) of monadic m-generalized Łukasiewicz algebras of order n (or \(M L^{m}_n\)-algebras), namely a generalization of monadic n-valued Łukasiewicz algebras. In this article, we determine the congruences and we characterized the subdirectly irreducible \(M L^{m}_n\)-algebras. From this last result we proved that \({{\mathcal {M}} L}^{m}_n\) is a discriminator variety and as a consequence we characterized the principal congruences. In the last part of this paper we find an immersion of these algebras in a functional algebra and we proved that in the finite case they are isomorphic. This last result allows to show a new functional representation for monadic n-valued Łukasiewicz algebras. Finally, we define the notions of \(M L^{m}_n\)-algebra of fractions and maximal algebra of fractions and we prove the existence of a maximal \(ML^{m}_n\)-algebra of fractions for an \(ML^{m}_n\)-algebra.
