Basic Definitions
LU(A) is the set of all lower bounds of the set of all upper bounds of the subset A of a partially ordered set.
A subset I of a partially ordered set (P, ≤) is a Frink ideal, if the following condition holds:
For every finite subset S of P, S I implies that LU(S) I.
A subset I of a partially ordered set (P,≤) is a normal ideal or a cut if LU(I) I.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or definitions:
“The gay world that flourished in the half-century between 1890 and the beginning of the Second World War, a highly visible, remarkably complex, and continually changing gay male world, took shape in New York City.... It is not supposed to have existed.”
—George Chauncey, U.S. educator, author. Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940, p. 1, Basic Books (1994)
“The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
