Definition D1809
Closed interval
Formulation 1
Let $P = (X, {\preceq})$ be a D1103: Partially ordered set such that
(i) \begin{equation} X \neq \emptyset \end{equation}
(ii) $a, b \in X$ are each a D2218: Set element in $X$
The closed interval in $P$ from $a$ to $b$ is the D11: Set \begin{equation} [a, b] : = \{ x \in X : a \preceq x \preceq b \} \end{equation}
