Reason: First published version: lower bound, bounded below, and greatest lower bound in a totally ordered set, mirroring def:upper-bound-supremum-c54-2026b.

Statement

Let AA be a set equipped with a total order \le, and let XAX\subseteq A. An element A\ell\in A is a lower bound for XX if x\ell\le x for every xXx\in X. If such an \ell exists, then XX is bounded below. An element mAm\in A is a greatest lower bound, or infimum, of XX if mm is a lower bound for XX and m\ell\le m for every lower bound \ell of XX.
