Definition
Let $L = \struct {S, \wedge, \preceq}$ be a bounded below meet semilattice.
Dense Element
Let $x \in S$.
Then $x$ is dense if and only if
- $\forall y \in S: y \ne \bot \implies x \wedge y \ne \bot$
where $\bot$ denotes the smallest element in $L$.
Dense Subset
Let $A$ be a subset of $S$.
Then $A$ is dense if and only if it includes only dense elements.
That means that if and only if $\forall x \in A: x$ is a dense element.
