Some decision problems involving algebras<br />

INPUT: a finite algebra A.<br />

1 Is A simple? Subdirectly irreducible? Directly indecomposable?<br />

2 Is A primal? Quasi-primal? Maltsev?<br />

3 Is V(A) congruence distributive? Congruence modular?<br />

INPUT: two finite algebras A, B.<br />

4 Is A ∼ = B?<br />

5 Is A ∈ V(B)<br />

INPUT: A finite algebra A <strong>and</strong> two terms s(⃗x), t(⃗x).<br />

6 Does s = t have a solution in A?<br />

7 Is s ≈ t an identity of A?<br />

INPUT: an operation f on a finite set.<br />

8 Does f generate a minimal clone?<br />
