Abstract
In this chapter we shall study a generalization of the model expounded in the previous chapter. We introduced a basic example, at the beginning of Section 8.1. We considered there the family of all measurable functions f: (Ω, ℒ) → [0, 1] with two binary operations (denote them by ⊕ and ⊙), a unary operation * and two fixed elements 0Ω, 1Ω where

Notes and comments
The notion of an MV algebra, a natural generalization of some families of fuzzy sets studied in the preseding chapter, was introduced by Chang [1], [2]. Possibly the most imposant result in the theory of MV algebras is the Mundici representation theorem (Mundici [1], see also Jakubík [2]). Of course, there are many other interesting results in the theory of MV algebras, e.g., Belluce [1], [2], Jakubík [2–4], Giuntini [1], Gluschankof [1], Mesiar [19], [23], Mundici [2–5].
A special direction in the MV algebra research is the measure theory on MV algebras, e.g., Chovanec [4], Jurečková [1], Vrábel [4], Vrábelová [4]. Of course, some results can be proved in the more general structure in the so-called D-posets (see Appendix A).
