bounded

   <theory> In {domain theory}, a subset S of a {cpo} X is
   bounded if there exists x in X such that for all s in S, s <=
   x.  In other words, there is some element above all of S.  If
   every bounded subset of X has a least upper bound then X is
   boundedly {complete}.

   ("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\subseteq}).
