It seems that the extreme value article is very close to greatest element. ( User:209.90.162.85 forgot to sign.)
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)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Upper and lower bounds which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 20:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
It is confusing that the intro speaks of a poset, and the definition of a preorderd set. Madyno ( talk) 08:26, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
Should a mention to the well-ordering relation be made since the subject of this article (specifically a least element) is what makes a well-order from a total order? Oneequalsequalsone ( talk) 13:01, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
