bounded
In {domain theory}, a subset S of a {cpo} X is
bounded if there exists x in X such that for all s in S, s <=
x. In other words, there is some element above all of S. If
every bounded subset of X has a least upper bound then X is
boundedly {complete}.
("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\subseteq}).
