Abstract:
Lattices are considered in which, instead of distributive identities, a ‘gap’ of length at most 1 is allowed between the right and left parts of each distributivity relation. Such lattices are said to be close to distributive ones. Although this property is weaker than distributivity, nevertheless a 3-generated lattice with this property is also finite.
Keywords:weakened condition for distributivity, 3-generated lattice, finiteness of nonmodular lattice.
