On powers of relational structures. (English) Zbl 1012.08004

Summary: We introduce a new operation of power of \(n\)-ary relational structures, which is based on the corresponding set of homomorphisms. The introduced power combines two known powers of relational structures, and all the three powers are discussed. In particular, a product of \(n\)-ary relational structures is found with respect to which the new power fulfills the first exponential law.
