In the theory of partially ordered sets, a pseudoideal is a subset characterized by a bounding operator LU.

Basic definitions

LU(A) is the set of all lower bounds of the set of all upper bounds of the subset A of a partially ordered set.

A subset I of a partially ordered set (P, ≤) is a Doyle pseudoideal, if the following condition holds:

For every finite subset S of P that has a supremum in P, if [math]\displaystyle{ S\subseteq I }[/math] then [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{LU}(S)\subseteq I }[/math].

A subset I of a partially ordered set (P, ≤) is a pseudoideal, if the following condition holds:

For every subset S of P having at most two elements that has a supremum in P, if S [math]\displaystyle{ \subseteq }[/math] I then LU(S) [math]\displaystyle{ \subseteq }[/math] I.

Remarks

  1. Every Frink ideal I is a Doyle pseudoideal.
  2. A subset I of a lattice (P, ≤) is a Doyle pseudoideal if and only if it is a lower set that is closed under finite joins (suprema).
