Definition:Lattice

Equivalence of Definitions
These definitions are shown to be equivalent in Equivalence of Definitions of Lattice.

Also defined as
Some sources refer to a bounded lattice as a lattice.

This comes down to insisting that $\vee$ and $\wedge$ admit identity elements.

Also denoted as
In particular in the context of order theory, it is common to omit $\vee$ and $\wedge$ in the notation for a lattice.

That is, one then writes $\left({S, \preceq}\right)$ in place of $\left({S, \vee, \wedge, \preceq}\right)$.
