semilattice


A lower semilatticePlanetmathPlanetmath is a partially ordered setMathworldPlanetmath S in which each pair of elements has a greatest lower boundMathworldPlanetmath.

A upper semilatticePlanetmathPlanetmath is a partially ordered set S in which each pair of elements has a least upper bound.

Note that it is not normally necessary to distinguish lower from upper semilattices, because one may be converted to the other by reversing the partial orderMathworldPlanetmath. It is normal practise to refer to either structureMathworldPlanetmath as a semilattice and it should be clear from the context whether greatest lower bounds or least upper bounds exist.

Alternatively, a semilattice can be considered to be a commutativePlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath band, that is a semigroupPlanetmathPlanetmath which is commutative, and in which every element is idempotentMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath. In this context, semilattices are important elements of semigroup theory and play a key role in the structure theory of commutative semigroups.

A partially ordered set which is both a lower semilattice and an upper semilattice is a latticeMathworldPlanetmath.
