Lattice

A lattice is any partially ordered set (L, ) where every non-empty finite subset X ⊆L has a greatest lower bound (meet) and a least upper bound (join).

任意非空有限集合也可以换成任意两个元素 a、b,定义等价(对 X 的大小归纳可证)

A complete lattice is any partially ordered set (L, ) where every subset X ⊆L has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound.

显然,有限非空格总是完全格。完全格也一定是非空的。

Every complete lattice has a greatest element (top, ) and a least element (bottom ).

A lattice that additionally has a top and a bottom is called a bounded lattice. Equivalently, a bounded lattice has glb and lub for every finite subset, including the empty set.

Semilattice

  • If for every non-empty finite subset, only lub exists, it is a join semilattice
  • If for every non-empty finite subset, only glb exists, it is a meet semilattice

Product

The product of n lattices is also lattice. Product of complete lattices is complete.

构造乘积的方式是,集合算笛卡儿积,偏序关系为按元素偏序关系的合取。乘积格的 glb 和 lub 为按元素依次应用对应格的算子。
