  2. Infimum and supremum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum

    If the supremum of exists, it is unique, and if b is an upper bound of , then the supremum of is less than or equal to b. Consequently, the supremum is also referred to as the least upper bound (or LUB). [1] The infimum is, in a precise sense, dual to the concept of a supremum.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit-preserving_function...

    Then f preserves the supremum of S if the set f(S) = {f(x) | x in S} has a least upper bound in Q which is equal to f(s), i.e. f(sup S) = sup f(S) This definition consists of two requirements: the supremum of the set f(S) exists and it is equal to f(s). This corresponds to the abovementioned parallel to category theory, but is not always ...

    For a poset P, a subset O is Scott-open if it is an upper set and all directed sets D that have a supremum in O have non-empty intersection with O. The set of all Scott-open sets forms a topology, the Scott topology. Semilattice. A semilattice is a poset in which either all finite non-empty joins (suprema) or all finite non-empty meets (infima ...

  5. Completeness (order theory) - Wikipedia

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

    Consequently, bounded completeness is equivalent to the existence of all non-empty infima. A poset is a complete lattice if and only if it is a cpo and a join-semilattice. Indeed, for any subset X, the set of all finite suprema (joins) of X is directed and the supremum of this set (which exists by directed completeness) is equal to the supremum ...

  6. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_inferior_and_limit...

    The supremum/superior/outer limit is a set that joins these accumulation sets together. That is, it is the union of all of the accumulation sets. When ordering by set inclusion, the supremum limit is the least upper bound on the set of accumulation points because it contains each of them. Hence, it is the supremum of the limit points.

  7. Least-upper-bound property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least-upper-bound_property

    In mathematics, the least-upper-bound property (sometimes called completeness, supremum property or l.u.b. property) [1] is a fundamental property of the real numbers. More generally, a partially ordered set X has the least-upper-bound property if every non-empty subset of X with an upper bound has a least upper bound (supremum) in X .

  8. Psychology of music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_music

    The psychology of music, or music psychology, may be regarded as a branch of psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and/or musicology.It aims to explain and understand musical behaviour and experience, including the processes through which music is perceived, created, responded to, and incorporated into everyday life.

  9. Neuroscience of music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_music

    Music agnosia, an auditory agnosia, is a syndrome of selective impairment in music recognition. [89] Three cases of music agnosia are examined by Dalla Bella and Peretz (1999); C.N., G.L., and I.R.. All three of these patients suffered bilateral damage to the auditory cortex which resulted in musical difficulties while speech understanding ...
