Which of the following is NOT a property of a lattice?

  1. Every element has a unique complement.

  2. Every pair of elements has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound.

  3. Every subset has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound.

  4. Every lattice is a partially ordered set.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A lattice is a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound. It does not necessarily mean that every element has a unique complement.

What is the dual of a lattice?

  1. The lattice with the same elements and the reversed order relation.

  2. The lattice with the same elements and the same order relation.

  3. The lattice with the same elements and the complemented order relation.

  4. The lattice with the same elements and the transposed order relation.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The dual of a lattice is obtained by reversing the order relation on the same set of elements.

Which of the following is an example of a complete lattice?

  1. The set of natural numbers with the usual order relation.

  2. The set of real numbers with the usual order relation.

  3. The set of all subsets of a given set with the subset relation.

  4. The set of all functions from a set to itself with the pointwise order relation.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A complete lattice is a lattice in which every subset has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound. The set of all subsets of a given set with the subset relation is an example of a complete lattice.

What is the distributive property in a lattice?

  1. For all elements (a, b, c) in the lattice, (a \wedge (b \vee c) = (a \wedge b) \vee (a \wedge c)).

  2. For all elements (a, b, c) in the lattice, (a \vee (b \wedge c) = (a \vee b) \wedge (a \vee c)).

  3. For all elements (a, b, c) in the lattice, (a \wedge (b \vee c) = (a \wedge b) \wedge (a \wedge c)).

  4. For all elements (a, b, c) in the lattice, (a \vee (b \wedge c) = (a \vee b) \vee (a \vee c)).

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The distributive property in a lattice states that for all elements (a, b, c) in the lattice, (a \wedge (b \vee c) = (a \wedge b) \vee (a \wedge c)).

Which of the following is an example of a distributive lattice?

  1. The set of natural numbers with the usual order relation.

  2. The set of real numbers with the usual order relation.

  3. The set of all subsets of a given set with the subset relation.

  4. The set of all functions from a set to itself with the pointwise order relation.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A distributive lattice is a lattice that satisfies the distributive property. The set of all subsets of a given set with the subset relation is an example of a distributive lattice.

What is a Boolean algebra?

  1. A lattice in which every element is either 0 or 1.

  2. A lattice in which every element has a unique complement.

  3. A lattice that is both distributive and complemented.

  4. A lattice that is both complete and distributive.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Boolean algebra is a lattice that is both distributive and complemented.

Which of the following is an example of a Boolean algebra?

  1. The set of natural numbers with the usual order relation.

  2. The set of real numbers with the usual order relation.

  3. The set of all subsets of a given set with the subset relation.

  4. The set of all functions from a set to itself with the pointwise order relation.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The set of all subsets of a given set with the subset relation is an example of a Boolean algebra.

What is a Heyting algebra?

  1. A lattice in which every element is either 0 or 1.

  2. A lattice in which every element has a unique complement.

  3. A lattice that is both distributive and complemented.

  4. A lattice that is both complete and distributive.
