41Glossary 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 …
42Double-ended priority queue — Not to be confused with Double ended queue. A double ended priority queue (DEPQ)[1] is an abstract data type similar to a priority queue except that it allows for efficient removal of both the maximum and minimum element. It is a data structure… …
43Partially ordered set — The Hasse diagram of the set of all subsets of a three element set {x, y, z}, ordered by inclusion. In mathematics, especially order theory, a partially ordered set (or poset) formalizes and generalizes the intuitive concept of an ordering,… …
44Axiom of choice — This article is about the mathematical concept. For the band named after it, see Axiom of Choice (band). In mathematics, the axiom of choice, or AC, is an axiom of set theory stating that for every family of nonempty sets there exists a family of …

46Extreme value — The largest and the smallest element of a set are called extreme values, absolute extrema, or extreme records.For a differentiable function f, if f(x 0) is an extreme value for the set of all values f(x), and if x 0 is in the interior of the… …
47well-ordered set — Math. a totally ordered set in which every nonempty subset has a smallest element with the property that there is no element in the subset less than this smallest element. Cf. partially ordered set, totally ordered set. * * * …
48well-ordered set — Math. a totally ordered set in which every nonempty subset has a smallest element with the property that there is no element in the subset less than this smallest element. Cf. partially ordered set, totally ordered set …
49Kleene algebra — In mathematics, a Kleene algebra (named after Stephen Cole Kleene, IPAEng|ˈkleɪni as in clay knee ) is either of two different things:* A bounded distributive lattice with an involution satisfying De Morgan s laws, and the inequality x ∧− x ≤ y… …
50Panpsychism — Panpsychism, in philosophy, is either the view that all parts of matter involve mind, or the more holistic view that the whole universe is an organism that possesses a mind (see Pantheism and Panentheism). It is thus a stronger and more ambitious …
