What is a lattice?

  1. A partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique least upper bound and a unique greatest lower bound.

  2. A set of elements with a binary operation that satisfies certain properties.

  3. A collection of sets that are partially ordered by inclusion.

  4. A structure consisting of a set of elements and a binary relation that satisfies certain properties.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A lattice is a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique least upper bound (also called the supremum or join) and a unique greatest lower bound (also called the infimum or meet).

What is the difference between a lattice and a poset?

  1. A lattice is a poset with additional properties, such as the existence of least upper bounds and greatest lower bounds.

  2. A poset is a lattice with additional properties, such as the existence of a unique least element and a unique greatest element.

  3. A lattice is a poset with a binary operation that satisfies certain properties.

  4. A poset is a lattice with a binary relation that satisfies certain properties.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A lattice is a poset with the additional property that every pair of elements has a unique least upper bound and a unique greatest lower bound.

What is a distributive lattice?

  1. A lattice in which the meet operation distributes over the join operation.

  2. A lattice in which the join operation distributes over the meet operation.

  3. A lattice in which both the meet operation and the join operation distribute over each other.

  4. A lattice in which neither the meet operation nor the join operation distributes over the other.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A distributive lattice is a lattice in which the meet operation distributes over the join operation, meaning that for all elements (a, b, c) in the lattice, we have (a \wedge (b \vee c) = (a \wedge b) \vee (a \wedge c)).

What is a complete lattice?

  1. A lattice in which every subset has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound.

  2. A lattice in which every non-empty subset has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound.

  3. A lattice in which every finite subset has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound.

  4. A lattice in which every infinite subset has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A complete lattice is a lattice in which every subset has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound. This means that for any subset (S) of a complete lattice, there exists an element (a) in the lattice such that (a = \bigvee S) (the least upper bound of (S)) and an element (b) in the lattice such that (b = \bigwedge S) (the greatest lower bound of (S)).

What is an example of a lattice?

  1. The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion.

  2. The set of all integers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  3. The set of all real numbers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  4. The set of all functions from a given set to itself, ordered by pointwise ordering.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion, is a lattice. The least upper bound of two subsets (A) and (B) is their union (A \cup B), and the greatest lower bound of (A) and (B) is their intersection (A \cap B).

What is an example of a distributive lattice?

  1. The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion.

  2. The set of all integers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  3. The set of all real numbers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  4. The set of all functions from a given set to itself, ordered by pointwise ordering.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion, is a distributive lattice. The meet operation is intersection and the join operation is union, and both operations distribute over each other.

What is an example of a complete lattice?

  1. The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion.

  2. The set of all integers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  3. The set of all real numbers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  4. The set of all functions from a given set to itself, ordered by pointwise ordering.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion, is a complete lattice. Every subset has a least upper bound (the union of all the elements in the subset) and a greatest lower bound (the intersection of all the elements in the subset).

What is the dual of a lattice?

  1. The lattice obtained by reversing the order relation.

  2. The lattice obtained by interchanging the meet and join operations.

  3. The lattice obtained by taking the complement of each element.

  4. The lattice obtained by reversing the order relation and interchanging the meet and join operations.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The dual of a lattice is the lattice obtained by reversing the order relation. This means that if (a \le b) in the original lattice, then (b \le a) in the dual lattice.

What is a Boolean algebra?

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Boolean algebra is a distributive lattice with a least element and a greatest element. The least element is typically denoted by (0) and the greatest element is typically denoted by (1).

  1. The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion.

  2. The set of all integers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

  3. The set of all real numbers, ordered by the usual less-than-or-equal relation.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion, is a Heyting algebra. The meet operation is intersection, which is idempotent.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Stone algebra is a Boolean algebra with a least element and a greatest element. It is named after Marshall Stone, who first studied these algebras in the context of Boolean algebras.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The set of all subsets of a given set, ordered by inclusion, is a Stone algebra. It is a Boolean algebra with a least element (the empty set) and a greatest element (the universal set).

What is a lattice homomorphism?

  1. A function between two lattices that preserves the order relation.

  2. A function between two lattices that preserves the meet and join operations.
