Theorem
Let $\mathscr S = \struct {S, \preceq}$ be an up-complete meet semilattice such that
- $\forall x \in S$, a directed subset $D$ of $S$: $x \preceq \sup D \implies x \preceq \sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in D}$
Let $f: S \times S \to S$ be a mapping such that:
- $\forall s, t \in S: \map f {s, t} = s \wedge t$
Then:
- $f$ preserves directed suprema as a mapping from simple order product $\struct{S \times S, \precsim}$ of $\mathscr S$ and $\mathscr S$ into $\mathscr S$.
Proof
Lemma 2
Let $x$ be an element of $S$, $D$ be a directed subset of $S$.
Then:
- $\paren {\sup D} \wedge x = \sup \set {d \wedge x: d \in D}$
$\Box$
Let $X$ be a directed subset of $S \times S$ such that
- $X$ admits a supremum.
- the simple order product of $\mathscr S$ and $\mathscr S$ is up-complete.
By Up-Complete Product/Lemma 2:
- $X_1 := \map {\pr_1^\to} X$ is directed
and
- $X_2 := \map {\pr_2^\to} X$ is directed
where
- $\pr_1$ denotes the first projection on $S \times S$
- $\pr_2$ denotes the second projection on $S \times S$
- $\map {\pr_1^\to} X$ denotes the image of $X$
We will prove that
- $(1): \quad \set {x \wedge \sup X_2: x \in X_1} = \set {\sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}: x \in X_1}$
First inclusion:
Let $a \in \set {x \wedge \sup X_2: x \in X_1}$.
Then
- $\exists x \in X: a = x \wedge \sup X_2$
- $x \wedge \sup X_2 \preceq \sup X_2$
By assumption:
- $x \wedge \sup X_2 \preceq \sup \set {x \wedge \sup X_2 \wedge y: y \in X_2}$
By definition of supremum:
- $\forall y \in X_2: y \preceq \sup X_2$
By Preceding iff Meet equals Less Operand:
- $\forall y \in X_2: \sup X_2 \wedge y = y$
- $x \wedge \sup X_2 \preceq \sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}$
By Meet Semilattice is Ordered Structure:
- $\forall y \in X_2: x \wedge y \preceq x \wedge \sup X_2$
By definition:
- $x \wedge \sup X_2$ is upper bound for $\set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}$
By definition of supremum:
- $\sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2} \preceq x \wedge \sup X_2$
By definition of antisymmetry:
- $a = \sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}$
Thus
- $a \in \set {\sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}: x \in X_1}$
$\Box$
Second inclusion
Let $a \in \set {\sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}: x \in X_1}$.
Then
- $\exists x \in X_1: a = \sup \set {x \wedge y: y \in X_2}$
Analogically to first inclusion
- $a = x \wedge \sup X_2$
Thus
- $a \in \set {x \wedge \sup X_2: x \in X_1}$
$\Box$
We will prove as lemma that:
- $\paren {\map {f^\to} X}$ is directed.
Let $x, y \in \paren {\map {f^\to} X}$.
By image of set:
- $\exists \tuple {a, b} \in X: x = \map f {a, b}$
and
- $\exists \tuple {c, d} \in X: y = \map f {c, d}$
By definition of $f$:
- $x = a \wedge b$ and $y = c \wedge d$
By definition of directed subset:
- $\exists \tuple {g, h} \in X: \tuple {a, b} \precsim \tuple {g, h} \land \tuple {c, d} \precsim \tuple {g, h}$
- $a \preceq g$, $b \preceq h$, $c \preceq g$, and $d \preceq h$
By Meet Semilattice is Ordered Structure:
- $x \preceq g \wedge h$ and $y \preceq g \wedge h$
By definition of image of set:
- $g \wedge h = \map f {g, h} \in \map {f^\to} X$
Thus:
- $\exists z \in \map {f^\to} X: x \preceq z \land y \preceq z$
This ends the proof of lemma.
Thus by definition of up-complete:
- $\paren {\map {f^\to} X}$ admits a supremum.
Thus
