However, it can be introduced also in every bounded lattice with complementation where these two forms need not coincide. We study lattices with complementation and the variety of such lattices where these two expressions coincide and point out explicitly some interesting subvarieties. Using a result of J. Berman we estimate the size of free algebras in these subvarieties. It is well-known that the symmetric difference is associative in every Boolean lattice. We prove that it is just the property of Boolean lattices, namely the symmetric difference in a lattice with complementation is associative if and only if this lattice is Boolean. Similarly, we prove that a lattice with complementation is Boolean if and only if the symmetric difference satisfies a certain simple identity in two variables. We also characterize lattices with a unary operation satisfying De Morgan's laws.</p>","PeriodicalId":18282,"journal":{"name":"Mathematica Slovaca","volume":"76 3","pages":"591-604"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13308693/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148345829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The MBE distribution arises as a mixture distribution of the Maxwell-Boltzmann and exponential distributions. The statistical properties of the distributions are studied and obtained in closed-form expressions. Three methodologies are assessed and compared for the estimation of parameters in the MBE distribution. The MBE regression model is defined, with the proposed regression model being an alternative to the gamma regression model for response variables that are extremely right-skewed and bimodal. Two real data sets are used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed models against the existing models.","PeriodicalId":18282,"journal":{"name":"Mathematica Slovaca","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
