Supremum of the Lowest Upper Bound (LUB) of a set is if

  1. is an upper bound of
  2. is the smallest of such upper bound. That is, if then
    We can also take the contrapositive of 2 and say that every number less than is not an upper bound of .

Infimum
...

Similar to the definition of Supremum, we can define infimum or the Greatest Lower Bound (GLB). GLB of a set is if

  1. is a lower bound of
  2. is the largest of such lowers bounds. That is, if then
    We can also take the contrapositive of 2 and say that greater number less than is not an lower bound of .
  3. is not a lower bound of or
