Locally finite poset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Michael Hardy (talk | contribs) at 19:36, 16 October 2008 (Got rid of some "inline" TeX and added badly needed initial context-setting. You can't say "A locally finite poset is..." and expect the lay reader to know that mathematics is what it's about.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In mathematics, a locally finite poset is a partially ordered set P such that for all xy ∈ P, the interval [xy] consists of finitely many elements.
