Theorem

Let $L = \struct {S, \wedge, \preceq}$ be a bounded below meet-continuous meet semilattice.

Let $\map {\operatorname{Ids} } L$ be the set of all ideals in $L$.

Let $I$ be an ideal in $L$.

Let $f: S \to \map {\operatorname{Ids} } L$ be a mapping such that:

$\forall x \in S: x \preceq \sup I \implies \map f x = \set {x \wedge i: i \in I}$

and

$\forall x \in S: x \npreceq \sup I \implies \map f x = x^\preceq$

where $x^\preceq$ denotes the lower closure of $x$.


Then

there exists an auxiliary approximating relation $\RR$ on $S$ such that
$\forall s \in S: \map f s = s^\RR$

where $s^\RR$ denotes the $\RR$-segment of $s$.


Proof

Define relation $\RR$ on $S$:

$\forall x, y \in S: \tuple {x, y} \in \RR \iff x \in \map f y$

By definition of $\RR$-segment:

$\forall x \in S: \map f x = x^\RR$

We will prove that:

$\RR$ is an approximating relation.

Let $x \in S$.

Suppose the case holds that:

$x \preceq \sup I$

Thus:

\(\ds \map \sup {x^\RR}\) \(=\) \(\ds \sup \map f x\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \sup \set {x \wedge d: d \in I}\) Definition of $f$
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds x \wedge \sup I\) Definition of Meet-Continuous Lattice
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds x\) Preceding iff Meet equals Less Operand


Suppose the case holds that

$x \npreceq \sup I$

Thus

\(\ds \map \sup {x^\RR}\) \(=\) \(\ds \sup \map f x\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \map \sup {x^\preceq}\) Definition of $f$
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds x\) Supremum of Lower Closure of Element
