A new branch of the logical algebra: UP-algebras

In this paper, we introduce a new algebraic structure, called a UP-algebra (UP means the University of Phayao) and a concept of UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms in UP-algebras, and investigated some related properties of them. We also describe connections between UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms, and show that the notion of UP-algebras is a generalization of KU-algebras.
