A lion and a man in a closed arena have equal maximum speeds. What tactics should the lion employ to be sure of his meal? This problem was stated by Rado in 1925 (Littlewood ...

Let P be a class of (universal) algebras. Then an algebra A is a local P-algebra provided that every finitely generated subalgebra F of A is a member of the class P. Note ...

A lattice L is locally bounded if and only if each of its finitely generated sublattices is bounded. Every locally bounded lattice is locally subbounded, and every locally ...

Let L be a lattice (or a bounded lattice or a complemented lattice, etc.), and let C_L be the covering relation of L: C_L={(x,y) in L^2|x covers y or y covers x}. Then C_L is ...

A lattice L is locally subbounded if and only if each of its finite subsets is contained in a finitely generated bounded sublattice of L. Every locally bounded lattice is ...

Let I be a set, and let U be an ultrafilter on I, let phi be a formula of a given language L, and let {A_i:i in I} be any collection of structures which is indexed by the set ...

The margin of error is an estimate of a confidence interval for a given measurement, result, etc. and is frequently cited in statistics. While phrases such as, "The poll has ...

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) and K=(K, ^ , v ) be lattices, and let h:L->K. If h is one-to-one and is a meet-homomorphism, then h is a meet-embedding.

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) and K=(K, ^ , v ) be lattices, and let h:L->K. A meet-endomorphism of L is a meet-homomorphism from L to L.

Let L=(L, ^ , v ) and K=(K, ^ , v ) be lattices, and let h:L->K. Then the mapping h is a meet-homomorphism if h(x ^ y)=h(x) ^ h(y). It is also said that "h preserves meets."
