Summary

Order, Continuity, and Domains: A Mathematical Foundation

Information content and programming semantics find their roots in the mathematical concepts of order, continuity, and domains. This book develops the mathematical foundations of partially ordered sets, focusing on completeness properties like directed complete ordered sets and complete lattices.

A unique aspect of this work is its emphasis on partially ordered sets with an extra order relation, modeling the concept of…

Critics Review

‘A highly recommendable handbook on a subject which links algebra and topology in a convincing and beautiful way.’ H. Mitsch, Wien ‘Being written in an expository and almost self-contained way, the book can serve as a handbook for those working in the area as well as a student textbook.’ EMS Newsletter ‘… this is the book for all those interested in the topic … I am pleased to recommend … this most authentic source of information on continuous lattices and domains.’ Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum
