The Primal <strong>Algebra</strong> Problem (PRIMAL)<br />

INPUT: a finite algebra A.<br />

QUESTION: Is A primal?<br />

The obvious algorithm is actually a reduction to CLO.<br />

For a finite set A, let g A be your favorite binary Sheffer operation on A.<br />

Define f : PRIMAL inp → CLO inp by<br />

f : A ↦→ (A, g A ).<br />
