Talk:Greatest element

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems that the extreme value article is very close to greatest element. (User:209.90.162.85 forgot to sign.)

Yes, there is some intersection. I think the two articles look at things from a bit different perspectives though, but I am not sure. Let us see if a specialist in order theory would be willing to do some merging from extreme value to to greatest element. For now, I just put a link from the former to the latter article.

[edit] Rename article?

The article is called "greatest element", but it talks as much about the greatest element as it does about the least element. (Naturally, as they are duals.) I propose to rename the article to "greatest and least element". (Or maybe even to "greatest and least element of a partially ordered set"?) — Tobias Bergemann 23:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
