A subset A of an ordered field F is said to be bounded below (or left bounded) iff there is p ∈ F such that. (∀x ∈ A) p ≤ x. A is bounded above (or right bounded) iff there is q ∈ F such that. (∀x ∈ A) x ≤ q. In this case, p and q are called, respectively, a lower (or left) bound and an upper (or right) bound, of A.

A subset S of a partially ordered set P is called bounded above if there is an element k in P such that k ≥ s for all s in S. The element k is called an upper bound of S. The concepts of bounded below and lower bound are defined similarly. (See also upper and lower bounds.)
The Completeness Axiom. Every nonempty subset A of R that is bounded above has a least upper bound. That is, sup A exists and is a real number. This axiom distinguishes the real numbers from all other ordered fields and it is crucial in the proofs of the central theorems of analysis.
5 days ago · A set is said to be bounded from above if it has an upper bound. Consider the real numbers with their usual order. Then for any set M subset= R, the supremum supM exists (in R) if and only if M is bounded from above and nonempty.
Definition: Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be a subset of real numbers. A real number $M \in \mathbb{R}$ is said to be an Upper Bound if for every $x \in S$ we have that $x \leq M$ and $S$ is said to be Bounded from Above. If no such $M \in \mathbb{R}$ exists we say that $S$ is Unbounded from Above.
In rough words this means that a subset B of E is bounded if B can be swallowed by any neighbourhood of the origin. Proposition 2.2.2. 1. If any element in some basis of neighbourhoods of the origin of a t.v.s. swallows a subset, then such a subset is bounded. 2. The closure of a bounded set is bounded. 3. Finite unions of bounded sets are ...
Every subset of the natural numbers has a lower bound since the natural numbers have a least element (0 or 1, depending on convention). An infinite subset of the natural numbers cannot be bounded from above.
