In abstract algebra, a partial algebra is a generalization of universal algebra to partial operations.
Example(s)
- partial groupoid
- field — the multiplicative inversion is the only proper partial operation
- effect algebras
Structure
There is a "Meta Birkhoff Theorem" by Andreka, Nemeti and Sain (1982).
