Belousov equations on quasigroups. (English) Zbl 0645.39006
A balanced equation $$w_ 1=w_ 2$$ is one in which each variable appears precisely once on both sides. The set of variables in the term $$u$$ is denoted by $$<u>$$. A balanced equation is called Belousov if for every subterm $$u_ i$$ of $$w_ i$$ there exists a subterm $$v_ j$$ of $$w_ j$$ $$(i,j=1,2)$$ such that $$<u_ i>=<v_ j>$$. V. D. Belousov [Math. Sb. (N.S.) 70(112), 55-97 (1966; Zbl 0199.05203)] showed that every Belousov equation is equivalent to a finite set of inseparable Belousov equations. In this paper the authors prove that any finite set of Belousov equations is equivalent to a single inseparable Belousov equation with no isolated variables.
