complete lattice

   A {lattice} is a {partial ordering} of a set under a relation
   where all finite subsets have a {least upper bound} and a
   {greatest lower bound}.  A complete lattice also has these for
   infinite subsets.  Every finite lattice is complete.  Some
   authors drop the requirement for {greatest lower bounds}.
