Abstract
We analyse abstract data types that model numerical structures with a concept of error. Specifically, we focus on arithmetic data types that contain an error value \(\bot\) whose main purpose is to always return a value for division. To rings and fields, we add a division operator \(x/y\) and study a class of algebras called common meadows wherein \(x/0=\bot\) . The set of equations true in all common meadows is named the equational theory of common meadows . We give a finite equational axiomatisation of the equational theory of common meadows and prove that it is complete and that the equational theory is decidable.
