Definition

Let $\struct {S, \preccurlyeq}$ be an ordered set.

Let $a, b \in S$.


The right half-open interval between $a$ and $b$ is the set:

$\hointr a b := a^\succcurlyeq \cap b^\prec = \set {s \in S: \paren {a \preccurlyeq s} \land \paren {s \prec b} }$

where:

$a^\succcurlyeq$ denotes the upper closure of $a$
$b^\prec$ denotes the strict lower closure of $b$.


Also defined as

Some sources require that $a \preccurlyeq b$.

Technical Note

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\hointr {a} {b}\) is \hointr {a} {b} .

This is a custom $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ command designed to implement Wirth interval notation.

The name is derived from half-open interval on the right.
