Abstract

We introduce Boolean proximity algebras as a generalization of Efremovi驴 proximities which are suitable in reasoning about discrete regions. Following Stone's representation theorem for Boolean algebras, it is shown that each such algebra is isomorphic to a substructure of a complete and atomic Boolean proximity algebra.
