Important Results
A poset D is a dcpo if and only if each chain in D has a supremum.
If f is a continuous function on a poset D then it has a least fixed point, given as the least upper bound of all finite iterations of f on the least element 0: Vn in N f n(0). This is the Kleene fixed-point theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or results:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerance and the milk of human kindness. The person who achieves must generally be a one-ideaed individual, concentrated entirely on that one idea, and ruthless in his aspect toward other men and other ideas.”
—Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861–1933)
