%0 Journal Article %T Boolean filters of distributive lattices %A M. Sambasiva Rao %A K.P. Shum %J International Journal of Mathematics and Soft Computing %D 2013 %I SweDha Publication %X In this paper we introduce the notion of Boolean filters in a pseudo-complemented distributive lattice and characterize the class of all Boolean filters. Further a set of equivalent conditions are derived for a proper filter to become a prime Boolean filter. Also a set of equivalent conditions is derived for a pseudo-complemented distributive lattice to become a Boolean algebra. Finally, a Boolean filter is characterized in terms of congruences. %K Pseudo-complemented distributive lattice %K Boolean algebra %K Boolean filter %K maximal filter %K congruence. %U http://ijmsc.com/index.php/ijmsc/article/view/IJMSC067/3-3-6
