Abstract

In this paper we enlarge the language of MV-algebras by a unary operation σ equationally described so as to preserve the basic properties of a state in its original meaning. The resulting class of algebras will be called MV-algebras with internal state (or SMV-algebras for short). After discussing some basic algebraic properties of SMV-algebras, we apply them to the study of the coherence problem for rational assessments on many-valued events. Then we propose an algebraic treatment of the Lebesgue integral and we show that internal states defined on a divisible MV Δ -algebra can be represented by means of this more general notion of integral.
