Partial Orders in Topological Spaces
If P is a partially ordered set that has also been given the structure of a topological space, then it is customary to assume that {(a, b) : a ≤ b} is a closed subset of the topological product space . Under this assumption partial order relations are well behaved at limits in the sense that if, and ai ≤ bi for all i, then a ≤ b.

Famous quotes containing the words partial, orders and/or spaces:
“There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I’ve got orders to obey, thank God.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
“Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
