Definition:Distributive Lattice

Definition
Let $\left({S, \vee, \wedge, \preceq}\right)$ be a lattice.

Then $\left({S, \vee, \wedge, \preceq}\right)$ is distributive one of the following statements holds:

That these statements are in fact equivalent is shown on Equivalence of Definitions of Distributive Lattice.

Hence, $\left({S, \vee, \wedge, \preceq}\right)$ is distributive $\wedge$ and $\vee$ distribute over each other.
