Definition An MV-algebra A, ⊕,∗ , 0 is an algebra of type (2,1,0) such that A, ⊕, 0 is a commutative monoid, (x∗)∗ = x, x ⊕ 0∗ = 0∗, (x∗ ⊕ y)∗ ⊕ y = (y∗ ⊕ x)∗ ⊕ x. The MV-algebra [0, 1] [0, 1], ⊕,∗ , 0, with x ⊕ y := min{x + y, 1} and x∗ := 1 − x, is an MV-algebra, called standard.

The MV-algebra [0, 1] [0, 1], ⊕,∗ , 0, with x ⊕ y := min{x + y, 1} and x∗ := 1 − x, is an MV-algebra, called standard.

Operations x ≤ y if and only if x∗ ⊕ y = 1, 1 = 0∗, x ⊙ y = (x∗ ⊕ y∗)∗, ≤ defines a structure of bounded lattice. Properties ⊕, ⊙ and ∧ distribute over any existing join. ⊕, ⊙ and ∨ distribute over any existing meet. De Morgan laws hold both for weak and strong conjunction and disjunction:

x ∧ y = (x∗ ∨ y ∗)∗ and x ∨ y = (x∗ ∧ y ∗)∗, x ⊙ y = (x∗ ⊕ y ∗)∗ and x ⊕ y = (x∗ ⊙ y ∗)∗.
