Structured lattices and ground categories of L-sets

Complete lattices are considered with suitable families of lattice morphisms that provide a structure (L,Φ), useful to characterize ground categories of L-sets by means of powerset operators associated to morphisms of these categories. The construction of ground categories and powerset operators p...
