A partially ordered set (or poset) is a set with a partial order defined on it, i.e., there is a binary relation defined on this set that is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive.

If every nonempty finite subset of a partially ordered set has a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound then it is called a lattice.
