Let (B, ≤) be a partially ordered set and let C ⊂ B. An upper bound for C is an element b Є Bsuch that c ≤ b for each c Є C. If m is an upper bound for C, and if m ≤ b for each upper bound b of C, then m is a least upper bound of C. C can only have one least upper bound, and it may not have any at all (depending on B). The least upper bound of a set C is often written as lub C.

Let B, ≤ be a partially ordered set and let C⊂ B with c Є C. Then the element bЄ B is an upper bound for C if c ≤ bfor each c Є C.See related links for more information.
The diameter of the subset C of the metric space B, D is the least upper bound of {D(x, y) | x, y Є C} and is often written as d(C).See related links for more information.
The acronym LUB stands for Least Upper Bound.
Every nonempty subset of the negative integers has a greatest element because the set of negative integers is well-ordered by the standard order of integers. This means that for any nonempty subset of negative integers, there exists a least upper bound, which is the greatest element in that subset. Since negative integers are ordered, any nonempty subset will always contain an element that is less than or equal to all other elements in that subset, ensuring the presence of a greatest element.
Real numbers have the two basic properties of being an ordered field, and having the least upper bound property. The first says that real numbers comprise a field, with addition and multiplication as well as division by nonzero numbers, which can be totally ordered on a number line in a way compatible with addition and multiplication. The second says that if a nonempty set of real numbers has an upper bound, then it has a least upper bound. These two together define the real numbers completely, and allow its other properties to be deduced.
The answer depends on the level of accuracy of the value 0.
In mathematics, an upper bound of a set is a value that is greater than or equal to every element in that set. For example, if you have a set of numbers, an upper bound is a number that is larger than the largest number in the set. It may not necessarily be a member of the set itself. Upper bounds are commonly used in analysis and optimization to define limits on possible values.
In SPSS, an upper bound typically refers to the maximum limit or cutoff point for a value or variable. It is used to define the highest permissible value in a range to prevent extreme values from skewing the data analysis results. Setting an upper bound can help to ensure data integrity and accuracy in statistical analysis.
Lower bound is 17.6 and upper bound is 17.8
A function whose upper bound would have attained its upper limit at a bound. For example, f(x) = x - a whose domain is a < x < b The upper bound is upper bound is b - a but, because x < b, the bound is never actually attained.
Two examples of continuous lattices are the lattice of real numbers with the usual order, and the lattice of open sets of a topological space ordered by inclusion. Both of these lattices satisfy the property that any subset with a lower bound has an infimum and any subset with an upper bound has a supremum in the lattice.
The answer is B.
