  2. Infimum and supremum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infimum_and_supremum

    An infimum of a set is always and only defined relative to a superset of the set in question. For example, there is no infimum of the positive real numbers inside the positive real numbers (as their own superset), nor any infimum of the positive real numbers inside the complex numbers with positive real part.

  3. Completeness (order theory) - Wikipedia

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

    It is the greatest element of B and hence the infimum of X. In a dual way, the existence of all infima implies the existence of all suprema. Bounded completeness can also be characterized differently. By an argument similar to the above, one finds that the supremum of a set with upper bounds is the infimum of the set of upper bounds.

  4. Limit inferior and limit superior - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematical analysis, limit superior and limit inferior are important tools for studying sequences of real numbers.Since the supremum and infimum of an unbounded set of real numbers may not exist (the reals are not a complete lattice), it is convenient to consider sequences in the affinely extended real number system: we add the positive and negative infinities to the real line to give the ...

  5. Order theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_theory

    For example, 1 is the infimum of the positive integers as a subset of integers. For another example, consider again the relation | on natural numbers. The least upper bound of two numbers is the smallest number that is divided by both of them, i.e. the least common multiple of the numbers.

  6. Least-upper-bound property - Wikipedia

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

    A real number x is called an upper bound for S if x ≥ s for all s ∈ S. A real number x is the least upper bound (or supremum) for S if x is an upper bound for S and x ≤ y for every upper bound y of S. The least-upper-bound property states that any non-empty set of real numbers that has an upper bound must have a least upper bound in real ...

  7. Completeness of the real numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completeness_of_the_real...

    The real numbers can be defined synthetically as an ordered field satisfying some version of the completeness axiom.Different versions of this axiom are all equivalent in the sense that any ordered field that satisfies one form of completeness satisfies all of them, apart from Cauchy completeness and nested intervals theorem, which are strictly weaker in that there are non Archimedean fields ...

    The union is the join/supremum of and with respect to because: L ⊆ L ∪ R {\displaystyle L\subseteq L\cup R} and R ⊆ L ∪ R , {\displaystyle R\subseteq L\cup R,} and if Z {\displaystyle Z} is a set such that L ⊆ Z {\displaystyle L\subseteq Z} and R ⊆ Z {\displaystyle R\subseteq Z} then L ∪ R ⊆ Z . {\displaystyle L\cup R\subseteq Z.}

  9. Limit-preserving function (order theory) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, in lattice theory, one is interested in orders where all finite non-empty sets have both a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound. In domain theory, on the other hand, one focuses on partially ordered sets in which every directed subset has a supremum. Complete lattices and orders with a least element (the "empty supremum ...
