Keywords:
binary discriminator; majority function; compatible relation; finite algebra
Summary:
The concept of the (dual) binary discriminator was introduced by R. Halas, I. G. Rosenberg and the author in 1999. We study finite algebras having the (dual) discriminator as a term function. In particular, a simple characterization is obtained for such algebras with a majority term function.
