2. Partially ordered set - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set

   A partially ordered set (poset for short) is an ordered pair = (,) consisting of a set (called the ground set of ) and a partial order on . When the meaning is clear from context and there is no ambiguity about the partial order, the set X {\displaystyle X} itself is sometimes called a poset.

3. Dedekind–MacNeille completion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedekind–MacNeille...

   A given partially ordered set may have several different completions. For instance, one completion of any partially ordered set S is the set of its downwardly closed subsets ordered by inclusion. S is embedded in this (complete) lattice by mapping each element x to the lower set of elements that are less than or equal to x.

4. Join and meet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_and_meet

   Join and meet are dual to one another with respect to order inversion. A partially ordered set in which all pairs have a join is a join-semilattice. Dually, a partially ordered set in which all pairs have a meet is a meet-semilattice. A partially ordered set that is both a join-semilattice and a meet-semilattice is a lattice.

5. List of order structures in mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_order_structures...

   Lattices, partial orders in which each pair of elements has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound. Many different types of lattice have been studied; see map of lattices for a list. Partially ordered sets (or posets), orderings in which some pairs are comparable and others might not be

6. Completeness (order theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completeness_(order_theory)

   In the mathematical area of order theory, completeness properties assert the existence of certain infima or suprema of a given partially ordered set (poset). The most familiar example is the completeness of the real numbers. A special use of the term refers to complete partial orders or complete lattices. However, many other interesting notions ...

7. Ideal (order theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_(order_theory)

   In mathematical order theory, an ideal is a special subset of a partially ordered set (poset). Although this term historically was derived from the notion of a ring ideal of abstract algebra, it has subsequently been generalized to a different notion. Ideals are of great importance for many constructions in order and lattice theory.

8. Partially ordered group - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_group

   A partially ordered group G is called integrally closed if for all elements a and b of G, if a n ≤ b for all natural n then a ≤ 1. [1]This property is somewhat stronger than the fact that a partially ordered group is Archimedean, though for a lattice-ordered group to be integrally closed and to be Archimedean is equivalent. [2]

9. Tree (set theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(set_theory)

   The partially ordered set on the right (in red) is not a tree because x 1 < x 3 and x 2 < x 3, but x 1 is not comparable to x 2 (dashed orange line). A tree is a partially ordered set (poset) (T, <) such that for each t ∈ T, the set {s ∈ T : s < t} is well-ordered by the relation <. In particular, each well-ordered set (T, <) is a tree.
