Definition

Let $\struct {S, \precsim}$ be a preordered set.


Then $\struct {S, \precsim}$ is a directed preordering if and only if every pair of elements of $S$ has an upper bound in $S$:

$\forall x, y \in S: \exists z \in S: x \precsim z$ and $y \precsim z$


Also known as

A directed preordering is also known as a filtered (preordered) set or upward directed set.

The term directed set can also be found, but can be confused with a directed ordering.
