In mathematics, a meet on a set is defined either as unique infima (greatest lower bounds) with respect to a partial order on the set, provided such infima exist, or (abstractly) as a commutative and associative binary operation satisfying an idempotency law. In either case, the set together with the meet is a meet-semilattice. The two definitions yield equivalent results, except that in the partial order approach it may be possible directly to define meets of more general sets of elements.
