... v = var. All Steve is saying here is that an equation is super-regular when (a) the two sides have the same "fringe," meaning the same list of variables...

Every ideal of a boolean algebra B is a sublattice of B. Is it a boolean sub algebra of B.If not Can you direct me to give an exaple in this case. with regds ...
... Hint: The ideal is a sublattice if you define "lattice" in a weak sense of having binary meets and joins. Is it still a sublattice if you define "lattice"...

Freredejesus asked about homogeneous algebras. I had never heard of them before (although it seems I probably should have...). They do not turn out to be...
Srinivasa Rao Tanniru asked if every ideal of a boolean algebra is a boolean subalgebra. The answer is very strongly no. Consider the ideals of the power set...
Querying Google with "homogeneous algebras" turns up "about 88,800" entries, the first few of which are Matt's (see below). The full Google link seems to...
