Talk:Tarski's theorem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Did the requester really want the Knaster-Tarski theorem?David.Monniaux 20:58, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I don't think so. I think they're two completely different things. The Mathworld page on the Tarski theorem shows it as having to do with arithmetic operations on real numbers while the Knaster-Tarski theorem has to do with sets of points in a lattice. -- Ortonmc 21:23, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I'm no longer sure about this. After a bit more poking around, it appears there may be more than one theorem called "Tarski's Theorem", the Knaster-Tarski theorem being one of them. -- Ortonmc 21:52, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)
