Abstract

In residuated binars there are six non-obvious distributivity identities of \(\cdot ,/,\backslash \) over \(\wedge , \vee \). We show that in residuated binars with distributive lattice reducts there are some dependencies among these identities; specifically, there are six pairs of identities that imply another one of these identities, and we provide counterexamples to show that no other dependencies exist among these.
