Quantale Modules and their Operators, with Applications

The central topic of this work is the categories of modules over unital quantales. The main categorical properties are established and a special class of operators, called Q-module transforms, is defined. Such operators - that turn out to be precisely the homomorphisms between free objects in those categories - find concrete applications in two different branches of image processing, namely fuzzy image compression and mathematical morphology

A Unified Algebraic Framework for Fuzzy Image Compression and Mathematical Morphology

In this paper we show how certain techniques of image processing, having different scopes, can be joined together under a common "algebraic roof"

Sup-lattice 2-forms and quantales

A 2-form between two sup-lattices L and R is defined to be a sup-lattice bimorphism L x R -> 2. Such 2-forms are equivalent to Galois connections, and we study them and their relation to quantales, involutive quantales and quantale modules. As examples we describe applications to C*-algebras.Comment: 30 pages. Contains more detailed background section and corrections of several typos and mistake

An order-theoretic analysis of interpretations among propositional deductive systems

In this paper we study interpretations and equivalences of propositional deductive systems by using a quantale-theoretic approach introduced by Galatos and Tsinakis. Our aim is to provide a general order-theoretic framework which is able to describe and characterize both strong and weak forms of interpretations among propositional deductive systems also in the cases where the systems have different underlying languages
