Lagrange-like interpolation in unitary rings, Boolean algebras and Boolean posets

Abstract

It is known that every function with a finite support over a given field can be interpolated by means of the Lagrangian polynomial. The question is if a similar interpolation is possible if one considers a unitary ring or a Boolean algebra instead of a field. We get a positive answer to this question provided the similarity type of the algebra in question is enriched with one more unary operation, the so-called Baaz delta. We get an explicit construction of this interpolation polynomial in both the cases. When going to Boolean posets, we have a lack of operations but these can be substituted by the operators Min U and Max L. Hence, we generalize also the Baaz delta for posets as an operator and then we can derive an explicit interpolation term constructed by means of these operators also for Boolean posets.
