Prime (order theory)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Prime (order theroy))
In mathematics, an element p of a partial order (P, ≤) is a meet prime element when p is the principal element of a principal prime ideal. Equivalently, if P is a lattice, p ≠ top, and for all a, b in P,
- a∧b ≤ p implies a ≤ p or b ≤ p.
