supremum
English
Etymology
Borrowed from Latin supremum.
Noun
supremum (plural suprema)
- (set theory) (real analysis): Given a subset X of R, the smallest real number that is ? every element of X; (order theory): given a subset X of a partially ordered set P (with partial order ?), the least element y of P such that every element of X is ? y.
- 2006, Charalambos D. Aliprantis, Kim C. Border, Infinite Dimensional Analysis: A Hitchhiker's Guide, Springer, 3rd Edition, page 8,
- A sublattice of a lattice is a subset that is closed under pairwise infima and suprema.
- 2010, James S. Howland, Basic Real Analysis, Jones & Bartlett Publishers, page 9,
- The best way to describe the supremum of S is to say that it wants to be the greatest element of S. In fact, if S has a greatest element, then that element is the supremum.
- 2011, Andreas Löhne, Vector Optimization with Infimum and Supremum, Springer, page vii,
- The key to an approach to vector optimization based on infimum and supremum is to consider set-based objective functions and to extend the partial ordering of the original objective space to a suitable subspace of the power set. In this new space the infimum and supremum exist under the usual assumptions.
- 2006, Charalambos D. Aliprantis, Kim C. Border, Infinite Dimensional Analysis: A Hitchhiker's Guide, Springer, 3rd Edition, page 8,
Usage notes
- Commonly denoted sup(X).
- The supremum of X may not exist, and, if it does, may not be an element of X.
- (order theory):
- Formally: Let be the set of upper bounds of X. Then sup(X), if it exists, is the element .
- The concept of supremum is closely related to the function ? (called join). The supremum of two elements, denoted can also be written . The supremum of a set may be denoted or .
