Pseudoideal

LU(A) is the set of all lower bounds of the set of all upper bounds of the subset A of a partially ordered set.

A subset I of a partially ordered set (P, ≤) is a Doyle pseudoideal, if the following condition holds:

For every finite subset S of P that has a supremum in P, if ${\displaystyle S\subseteq I}$ then ${\displaystyle \operatorname {LU} (S)\subseteq I}$.

A subset I of a partially ordered set (P, ≤) is a pseudoideal, if the following condition holds:

For every subset S of P having at most two elements that has a supremum in P, if S ${\displaystyle \subseteq }$ I then LU(S) ${\displaystyle \subseteq }$ I.

1. Every Frink ideal I is a Doyle pseudoideal.
2. A subset I of a lattice (P, ≤) is a Doyle pseudoideal if and only if it is a lower set that is closed under finite joins (suprema).
