- In mathematics, the
infimum (abbreviated inf; pl.: infima) of a
subset S {\displaystyle S} of a
partially ordered set P {\displaystyle P} is the greatest...

fashion for a
function (see
limit of a function). For a set, they are the
infimum and
supremum of the set's
limit points, respectively. In general, when...
- In mathematics, the
concepts of
essential infimum and
essential supremum are
related to the
notions of
infimum and supremum, but
adapted to
measure theory...

unique supremum (also
called a
least upper bound or join) and a
unique infimum (also
called a
greatest lower bound or meet). An

-
points of a
metric space relative to the
intrinsic metric is
defined as the
infimum of the

- infima.
Roughly speaking,
these functions map the supremum/
infimum of a set to the supremum/
infimum of the
image of the set.
Depending on the type of sets...

denoted ⋀ S . {\textstyle \bigwedge S.} In general...
-
bound is said to be a
tight lower bound, a
