Function Algebras on Finite Sets: Basic Course on Many-valued Logic and Clone Theory - Springer Monographs in Mathematics 1st Ed. Softcover of Orig. Ed. 2006 edition

Function Algebras on Finite Sets gives a broad introduction to the subject, leading up to the cutting edge of research. The general concepts of the Universal Algebra are given in the first part of the book, to familiarize the reader from the very beginning on with the algebraic side of function algebras. The second part covers the following topics: Galois-connection between function algebras and relation algebras, completeness criterions, and clone theory.
