We consider the knotted structural rule x<sup>m</sup>≤x<sup>n</sup> for n different than m and m greater or equal than 1. Previously van Alten proved that commutative residuated lattices that satisfy the knotted rule have the finite embeddability property (FEP). Namely, every finite partial subalgebra of an algebra in the class can be embedded into a finite full algebra in the class. In our work we replace the commutativity property by some slightly weaker conditions. Particularly, we prove the FEP for the variety of residuated lattices that satisfy the equation xyx=x<sup>2</sup>y and the knotted rule. Furthermore, we investigate some generalizations of this noncommutative property by working with equations that allow us to move variables. We also note that the FEP implies the finite model property. Hence the logics modeled by these residuated lattices are decidable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
