Set lower bound
Formulation 0
Let $P = (X, {\preceq})$ be a D1103: Partially ordered set such that
(i) \begin{equation} X \neq \emptyset \end{equation}
(ii) $E \subseteq X$ is a D78: Subset of $X$
A D2218: Set element $a \in X$ is a lower bound of $E$ in $P$ if and only if \begin{equation} \forall \, x \in E : (a, x) \in {\preceq} \end{equation}
