Binary operations

Summary. In this paper we define binary and unary operations on domains. We also define the following predicates concerning the operations:... is commutative,... is associative,... is the unity of..., and... is distributive wrt.... A number of schemes useful in justifying the existence of the operations are proved. MML Identifier:BINOP_1.

The functor f(a, b) yielding a set is defined by: (Def. 1) f(a, b) = f(〈a, b〉). In the sequel A is a set. Let A, B be non empty sets, let C be a set, let f be a function from [:A, B:] into C, let a be an element of A, and let b be an element of B. Then f(a, b) is an element of C. The following proposition is true (2) 1 Let A, B, C be non empty sets and f1, f2 be functions from [:A, B:] into C. Suppose that for every element a of A and for every element b of B holds f1(a, b) = f2(a, b). Then f1 = f2. Let A be a set. A unary operation on A is a function from A into A. A binary operation on A is
