Most General Algebraic Specifications for an Abstract Datatype of Rational Numbers

The notion of a most general algebraic specification of an arithmetical datatype of characteristic zero is introduced. Three examples of such specifications are given. A preference is formulated for a specification by means of infinitely many equations which can be presented via a finite number of...
