Generalizations of Boolean elements of a BL‐algebra L are studied. By utilizing the MV‐center MV( L ) of L , it is reproved that an element x ∈ L is Boolean iff x ∨ x * = 1 . L is called semi‐Boolean if for all x ∈ L , x * is Boolean. An MV‐algebra L is semi‐Boolean iff L is a Boolean algebra. A BL‐algebra L is semi‐Boolean iff L is an SBL‐algebra. A BL‐algebra L is called hyper‐Archimedean if for all x ∈ L , x n is Boolean for some finite n ≥ 1. It is proved that hyper‐Archimedean BL‐algebras are MV‐algebras. The study has application in mathematical fuzzy logics whose Lindenbaum algebras are MV‐algebras or BL‐algebras. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
