Partial Algebra


A partial algebra is a pair A=(A,(f_i^A)_(i in I)), where for each i in I, there are an ordinal number alpha_i and a set X_i subset= A^(alpha_i) such that f_i^A is a function from X_i into A. In case X_i=A^(alpha_i), the operation f_i^A is called a total operation, and otherwise, it is called a partial operation.
