Derivative algebra (abstract algebra)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In abstract algebra, a derivative algebra is an algebraic structure of the signature

<A, ·, +, ', 0, 1, D>

where

<A, ·, +, ', 0, 1>

is a

unary operator
, the derivative operator, satisfying the identities:

  1. 0D = 0
  2. xDDx + xD
  3. (x + y)D = xD + yD.

xD is called the

propositional logic
.
