Directed Sets , Nets , Ideals , Filters , and Maps 1

Notation and facts necessary to start with the formalization of continuous lattices according to [8] are introduced. The article contains among other things, the definition of directed and filtered subsets of a poset (see 1.1 in [8, p. 2]), the definition of nets on the poset (see 1.2 in [8, p. 2]), the definition of ideals and filters and the definition of maps preserving arbitrary and directed sups and arbitrary and filtered infs (1.9 also in [8, p. 4]). The concepts of semilattices, sup-semiletices and poset lattices (1.8 in [8, p. 4]) are also introduced. A number of facts concerning the above notion and including remarks 1.4, 1.5, and 1.10 from [8, pp. 3–5] is presented.
