Complete and atomic algebras of the infinite valued Łukasiewicz logic

The infinite-valued logic of Łukasiewicz was originally defined by means of an infinite-valued matrix. Łukasiewicz took special forms of negation and implication as basic connectives and proposed an axiom system that he conjectured would be sufficient to derive the valid formulas of the logic; this...
