Knaster-Tarski theorem by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Every monotone self-map of a complete lattice has a complete lattice of fixed points. Its least fixed point is the meet of its prefixed points, and its greatest fixed point is the join of its postfixed points.
The Knaster-Tarski theorem is a fundamental result in the field of fixed-point theory, particularly in the context of partially ordered sets (posets).
