algebra; mono-unary algebra; homomorphism of algebras; $m$-decomposable mapping; mono-unary algebra with one acceptable and several nullary operations; mono-unary algebra with one binding and several nullary operations
Summary:
A construction of all homomorphisms of an algebra with a finite number of operations into an algebra of the same type is presented that consists in replacing algebras by suitable mono-unary algebras (possibly with some nullary operations) and their homomorphisms by suitable homomorphisms of the corresponding mono-unary algebras. Since a construction of all homomorphisms between two mono-unary algebras is known (see, e.g., [6], [7], [8]), a construction of all homomorphisms of an arbitrary algebra with a finite number of operations into an algebra of the same type can be described.
