Abstract

BL-algebras are algebraic structures corresponding to Hajek’s basic fuzzy logic. The aim of this paper is to analyze the structure of BL-algebras using commutative rings. Due to computational considerations, we are interested in the finite case. We present new ways to generate finite BL-algebras using commutative rings and provide summarizing statistics. Furthermore, we investigated BL-rings, i.e., commutative rings whose the lattice of ideals can be equipped with a structure of BL-algebra. A new characterization for these rings and their connections to other classes of rings is established. Furthermore, we give examples of finite BL-rings for which the lattice of ideals is not an MV-algebra and, using these rings, we construct BL-algebras with 2 r + 1 elements, r ≥ 2 , and BL-chains with k elements, k ≥ 4 . In addition, we provide an explicit construction of isomorphism classes of BL-algebras of small n size ( 2 ≤ n ≤ 5 ).
