Abstract:
We show that in multivalued logic there exist a continual family of pairwise incomparable closed sets with minimal logarithmic growth rate and a continual chain of nested closed sets with minimal logarithmic growth rate. As a corollary we prove that any subset-preserving class in multivalued logic contains a continual chain of nested closed sets and a continual family of pairwise incomparable closed sets such that none of the sets is a subset of any other precomplete class.
Keywords:growth rate, generating sets, finite sets, lattice of clones.
