ANSWER
For an ordered set $(X, \le)$ and $A \subset X$: - **Upper Bounds**: $A^+ := \{x \in X : \forall a \in A, a \le x\}$ - **Lower Bounds**: $A^- := \{x \in X : \forall a \in A, a \ge x\}$ - **Supremum (Least Upper Bound)**: The least element of $A^+$, denoted by $\bigvee A$ or $\sup A$. - **Infimum (Greatest Lower Bound)**: The greatest element of $A^-$, denoted by $\bigwedge A$ or $\inf A$.
