Lattice (order)Set whose pairs have minima and maximaY indicates that the column's property is always true for the row's term (at the very left), while ✗ indicates that the property is not guaranteedin general (it might, or might not, hold). For example, that every equivalence relation is symmetric, but not necessarily antisymmetric,is indicated by Y in the "Symmetric" column and ✗ in the "Antisymmetric" column, respectively.Total orderIn mathematics, a total order or linear order is a partial order in which any two elements are comparable.
Net (mathematics)Generalization of a sequence of pointsIn mathematics, more specifically in general topology and related branches, a net or Moore–Smith sequence is a function whose domain is a directed set. The codomain of this function is usually some topological space. Nets directly generalize the concept of a sequence in a metric space.
SemilatticeY indicates that the column's property is always true for the row's term (at the very left), while ✗ indicates that the property is not guaranteedin general (it might, or might not, hold). For example, that every equivalence relation is symmetric, but not necessarily antisymmetric,is indicated by Y in the "Symmetric" column and ✗ in the "Antisymmetric" column, respectively.Partially ordered setMathematical set with an orderingY indicates that the column's property is always true for the row's term (at the very left), while ✗ indicates that the property is not guaranteedin general (it might, or might not, hold). For example, that every equivalence relation is symmetric, but not necessarily antisymmetric,is indicated by Y in the "Symmetric" column and ✗ in the "Antisymmetric" column, respectively.
SequenceIn mathematics, a sequence is a collection of objects possibly with repetition, that come in a specified order. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). Unlike a set, the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in a sequence, and unlike a set, the order does matter. The notion of a sequence can be generalized to an indexed family, defined as a function from an arbitrary index set.
Upper and lower boundsIn mathematics, particularly in order theory, an upper bound or majorant of a subsetS of some preordered set(K, ≤) is an element of K that is greater than or equal to every element of S. Dually, a lower bound or minorant of S is defined to be an element of K that is less than or equal to every element of S. A set with an upper (respectively, lower) bound is said to be bounded from above or majorized (respectively bounded from below or minorized) by that bound.
PreorderY indicates that the column's property is always true for the row's term (at the very left), while ✗ indicates that the property is not guaranteedin general (it might, or might not, hold). For example, that every equivalence relation is symmetric, but not necessarily antisymmetric,is indicated by Y in the "Symmetric" column and ✗ in the "Antisymmetric" column, respectively.
Limit (mathematics)In mathematics, a limit is the value that a function (or sequence) approaches as the argument (or index) approaches some value. Limits of functions are essential to calculus and mathematical analysis, and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals. The concept of a limit of a sequence is further generalized to the concept of a limit of a topological net, and is closely related to limit and direct limit in category theory.
TopologyTopology (from the Greek words , 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuousdeformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling, and bending; that is, without closing holes, opening holes, tearing, gluing, or passing through itself.
MathematicsMathematics is a field of knowledge concerned with abstract concepts such as numbers, geometric shapes, sets, functions, and probabilities. It uses logical reasoning and proof to study and establish their properties, often expressed as theorems, formulas, and equations. Mathematics is used to model and solve problems in science, engineering, technology, economics, and everyday life.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
