Bounded lattices

Abbreviation: BLat

Definition

A \emph{bounded lattice} is a structure $\mathbf{L}=\langle L,\vee,0,\wedge,1\rangle$ such that

$\langle L,\vee,\wedge\rangle $ is a lattice

$0$ is the least element: $0\leq x$

$1$ is the greatest element: $x\leq 1$

Morphisms

Let $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{M}$ be bounded lattices. A morphism from $\mathbf{L}$ to $\mathbf{M}$ is a function $h:L\rightarrow M$ that is a homomorphism:

$h(x\vee y)=h(x)\vee h(y)$, $h(x\wedge y)=h(x)\wedge h(y)$, $h(0)=0$, $h(1)=1$
