A variant of a BCI-algebra. One can define it by taking some of the axioms for a BCI-algebra and some of the important properties of a BCI-algebra. Specifically, a BCH-algebra is a non-empty set with a constant and a binary relation satisfying the following axioms:

1) ;

2) if and , then ;

3) . Clearly a BCI-algebra is a BCH-algebra; however, the converse is not true. While some work has been done on such algebras, generally they have not been as extensively investigated as BCI-algebras.
