Abstract

We introduce an expansion of Basic Logic (BL) with new connectives which express fixed points of continuous formulas, i.e. formulas of BL whose connectives are among \( \{ \& ,\vee ,\wedge \}\). The algebraic semantics of this logic is studied together with some of its subclasses corresponding to extensions of the above-mentioned expansion. The axiomatic extensions are proved to be standard complete.
