  Lattice (order) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The set of compact elements of an arithmetic complete lattice is a lattice with a least element, where the lattice operations are given by restricting the respective operations of the arithmetic lattice.
For example, the lattice of submodules of a module, and the lattice of normal subgroups of a group, all have this special property.
These conditions basically amount to saying that there is a functor from the category of sets and functions to the category of lattices and lattice homomorphisms which is left adjoint to the forgetful functor from lattices to their underlying sets.

 Lattice
Every lattice can be generated from a basis for the underlying vector space by considering all linear combinations with integral coefficients.
In another mathematical usage, a lattice is a partially ordered set in which all nonempty finite subsets have a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound (also called supremum and infimum, respectively).
The lattice of submodules of a module and the lattice of normal subgroups of a group have the special property that x v (y ^ (x v z)) = (x v y) ^ (x v z) for all x, y and z in the lattice.

In mathematics, a lattice is a partially ordered set (or poset), in which all nonempty finite subsets have both a supremum (join) and an infimum (meet).
Lattices constitute one of the most prominent representatives of a series of "lattice-like" structures which admit order-theoretic as well as algebraic descriptions, such as semilattices, Heyting algebras, and Boolean algebras.
The natural numbers in their common order are a lattice, the lattice operations given by the min and max operations.

In mathematics, a lattice is a partially ordered set in which all nonempty finite subsets have both a supremum (join) and an infimum (meet).
Conversely, the order induced by the algebraically defined lattice (L,,) that was derived from the order theoretic formulation above coincides with the original ordering of L.

Curiously, a lattice can also be defined in algebra-style, as a set with two operations, Meet and Join, which have certain properties such as commutation, and the algebra definition is equivalent to the ordering one.
To implement the idea, define a lattice as: A LATTICE is a set such that for every pair of elements x and y in the set, Join(x,y) and Meet (x,y) are also elements of the set.
In other words, a lattice is a set that includes its least upper and greatest lower bounds, and that in a special sense does not have any holes in it-- because it must include not only its grand meet and join, but every other meet and join of its elements too.

In the first case, geometric pictures of the simplest lattices look like lattices in the sense defined by the dictionary; in the second case, the Hasse diagrams of the posets look (in some simple cases) like the aforementioned lattices.
This concept is used in materials science, in which a lattice is a 3-dimensional array of regularly spaced points coinciding with the atom or molecule positions in a crystal.
More generally, a lattice Γ in a Lie group G is a discrete subgroup, such that G/Γ is of finite measure, for the measure on it inherited from Haar measure on G (left-invariant, or right-invariant - the definition is independent of that choice).

In order to force the use of the lexordering induced by a particular linear extension of P, the vertex set X may be specified as a list in the desired order, rather than as a set.
J(P,X) returns (the covering relation of) an abstract poset that is isomorphic to the lattice of order ideals of P. The vertex set of the output is {1,2,...,m} for some m, and corresponds to the listing order used by 'ideals'.

In contrast, for the standard versions of the liquid crystal and lattice gauge models, as well as for very non-linear ferromagnetic $\sigma$-models, both numerics and high temperature series suggested the existence of 1st order transitions, despite some theoretical and numerical analyses originally either suggesting 2nd order transitions, no transitions at all, or Kosterlitz-Thouless type transitions.
The wide occurrence of first-order transitions in liquid-crystal and lattice gauge models indicates that a proof in these type of models may be of even more direct physical relevance than in the case of ferromagnets.
For lattice gauge models on the other hand, also the standard (p=1) actions lead to first-order transitions in mean-field theory (\cite{Zin}, section 34.4), which indicates a first-order transition in sufficiently high dimension.

A lattice is an infinite arrangement of points spaced with sufficient regularity that one can shift any point onto any other point by some symmetry of the arrangement.
More formally, a lattice can be defined as a discrete subgroup of a finite-dimensional vector space (the subgroup is often required not to lie within any subspace of the vector space, which can be expressed formally by saying that the quotient of the space by the lattice is compact).
Ordered sets, or lattices, give a uniform structure to, for example, the set of subfields of a field.

 FPGA-Based FIR Filters using Distributed Arithmetic
Cascade and lattice structures present several interesting properties such as low quantification error and high-stability in the filter coefficients.
The goal of this article is to implement FPGA-based direct-form, cascade, and lattice high-order FIR filters using bit-serial DA.
Furthermore, as a result of the four-input LUT structures, the partition of the memories in the FPGA case is limited by r<T/4 (T is the order of the filter).

For weak pinning the vortex lattice is defect free until the vortex-vortex interactions have been reduced to a low value, when defects begin to appear with a simultaneous rapid increase in the critical depinning force.
A key reason for this uncertainty is the absence of a systematic connection between the number of defects in the vortex lattice, the softness of the lattice, and the critical current.
The vortex lattice is relatively ordered in (a).

 DisorderDrivenMelting
In pure single crystal samples of the high Tc superconductors, the vortex line lattice present at low magnetic fields melts into a vortex line liquid via a sharp first order phase transition, as the temperature is increased.
As the applied magnetic field H, and hence the vortex line density, increases, the random pinning energy per unit volume increases and the disorder becomes a relevent factor in determining the nature of the vortex phase diagram.
Above this "upper critical point" resistivity vanishes continuously as temperature is decreased; it is unclear if there exists a distinct second order transition to a "vortex glass" phase, or just a cross-over where the vortex liquid viscosity increases sufficiently rapidly so as to make any vortex motion undetectable.

 DIMACS Working Group on Order-theoretic Aspects of Epidemiology
This working group will study how fundamental order-theoretic concepts of TCS and DM such as semiorders, interval orders, general partial orders, and lattices [Fishburn (1985), Trotter (1992)] can be used to improve the results of epidemiological investigations.
The point lattice construction has found uses in epidemiology through visualizing the relationships of all possible contingency tables to various statistics, effect measures, and cut-off choices (see, e.g., [Ozonoff and Webster (1997)]) and has also been used in statistics (see [Narayana (1979)]).
We will build upon a large literature in TCS dealing with order relations, computing them, approximating them, visualizing them, and assigning measures to them, but we will not be building upon a large body of work connecting these ideas to epidemiology, mostly upon the view of several active epidemiologists that these ideas are relevant.

 Introduction
In particular, the partially ordered set of all submodules of a module forms a (complete) modularlattice; even more general, any sublattice of the lattice of all normal subgroups of a group is a modular lattice.
This is the generalization of the fundamental theorem of projective geometry* and hence, the representation of mappings between submodule lattices.
Descriptions of certain isomorphisms betweenisomorphismsof submodule lattices submodule lattices of various classes of modules were given by Von Neumann [1960], Skornjakov [1960], Faltings [1975] and Brehm [1983] and led to semilinear isomorphisms between the underlying modules.

These subsets form a special kind of partial order that is referred to as a lattice.
Notice further that the set A is a subset of D and of E; B a subset of D and F and so on.
The subset relation is, of course, a transitive relation and this property is often exploited to simplify the representation of a lattice.
