Complete lattices are partially ordered sets, where every subset has an infimum and a supremum. In particular, it contains a least element and a greatest element (also denoted "universe").
Let be a complete lattice, with infimum and minimum symbolized by and, respectively. Its universe and least element are symbolized by U and, respectively. Moreover, let be a collection of elements from L.
