Some categorical aspects of BCH-algebras

We show that the category BCH of BCH-algebras and BCH-homomorphisms is complete. We also show that it has coequalizers, kernel pairs, and an image factorization system. It is also proved that onto homomorphisms and coequalizers, and monomorphisms and one-to-one homomorphisms coincide, respectively,...
