Abstract
A lattice L is a partially ordered set any two of whose elements a and b have a least upper bound a ∨ b and a greatest lower bound a ∧ b, which are respectively called the join and the meet of a and b. The least element and the greatest element, if they exist, are denoted by 0 and 1 respectively.
