Charles Wheatstone.

(foldoc) | 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

infinite subsets. Every finite lattice is complete. Some
authors drop the requirement for greatest lower bounds.

distributive lattice
(foldoc) | distributive lattice
A lattice for which the least upper bound (lub)
and greatest lower bound (glb) operators distribute over one
another so that
a lub (b glb c) == (a lub c) glb (a lub b)
and vice versa.
("lub" and "glb" are written in LateX as \sqcup and
\sqcap).

lattice
(foldoc) | lattice
A partially ordered set in which all finite subsets
have a least upper bound and greatest lower bound.
This definition has been standard at least since the 1930s and
probably since Dedekind worked on lattice theory in the 19th
century; though he may not have used that name.
See also complete lattice, domain theory.
