Question

A Boolean algebra may also be defined as a partially ordered set with certain additional properties. Let (B,)(B, \leqslant) be a partially ordered set. For any x,yB,x, y \in B, we define the least upper bound of x and y as an element z such that xz,yz,x \leqslant z, y \leqslant z, and if there is any element ZZ^{*}

Given:

x+y=z if z is the least upper bound of x and yxy=z if z is the greatest lower bound of x and y\begin{align*} x+y&=z\text{ if $z$ is the least upper bound of $x$ and $y$} \\ x\cdot y&=z\text{ if $z$ is the greatest lower bound of $x$ and $y$} \end{align*}

zz is the least upper bound\textbf{least upper bound} of xx and yy when:

\bullet xzx\preceq z

\bullet yzy\preceq z

\bullet if there is some element zz^* such that xzx\preceq z^* and yzy\preceq z^*, then zzz\preceq z^*

zz is the greatest lower bound\textbf{greatest lower bound} of xx and yy when:

\bullet zxz\preceq x

\bullet zyz\preceq y

\bullet if there is some element zz^* such that zxz^*\preceq x and zyz^*\preceq y, then zzz^*\preceq z
