Semilattice — In mathematics, a join semilattice (or upper semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a join (a least upper bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Dually, a meet semilattice (or lower semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a… … Wikipedia
Maximal semilattice quotient — In abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics, a maximal semilattice quotient is a commutative monoid derived from another commutative monoid by making certain elements equivalent to each other. Every commutative monoid can be endowed with its… … Wikipedia
Congruence lattice problem — In mathematics, the congruence lattice problem asks whether every algebraic distributive lattice is isomorphic to the congruence lattice of some other lattice. The problem was posed by Robert P. Dilworth, and for many years it was one of the most … Wikipedia
Arrangement of hyperplanes — In geometry and combinatorics, an arrangement of hyperplanes is a finite set A of hyperplanes in a linear, affine, or projective space S . Questions about a hyperplane arrangement A generally concern geometrical, topological, or other properties… … Wikipedia
Lattice (order) — See also: Lattice (group) The name lattice is suggested by the form of the Hasse diagram depicting it. Shown here is the lattice of partitions of a four element set {1,2,3,4}, ordered by the relation is a refinement of . In mathematics, a… … Wikipedia
List of algebraic structures — In universal algebra, a branch of pure mathematics, an algebraic structure is a variety or quasivariety. Abstract algebra is primarily the study of algebraic structures and their properties. Some axiomatic formal systems that are neither… … Wikipedia
Glossary of order theory — This is a glossary of some terms used in various branches of mathematics that are related to the fields of order, lattice, and domain theory. Note that there is a structured list of order topics available as well. Other helpful resources might be … Wikipedia
Inverse semigroup — In mathematics, an inverse semigroup S is a semigroup in which every element x in S has a unique inverse y in S in the sense that x = xyx and y = yxy. Inverse semigroups appear in a range of contexts; for example, they can be employed in the… … Wikipedia

Complete lattice — In mathematics, a complete lattice is a partially ordered set in which all subsets have both a supremum (join) and an infimum (meet). Complete lattices appear in many applications in mathematics and computer science. Being a special instance of… … Wikipedia
Power domains — In denotational semantics and domain theory, power domains are domains of nondeterministic and concurrent computations.The idea of power domains for functions is that a nondeterministic function may be described as a deterministic set valued… … Wikipedia
