Definition 1.
An ordered set is said to have the least upper bound property if for every subset of , where is non empty and bounded above, exists in .
An analogous definition exists for the GLB property. Having the LUB property is the same thing as having the GLB property (LUB property GLB property: Consider the set of all lower bounds for a set that is non empty and bounded below; this is non empty and bounded above, and hence must have a supremum, which you can prove is the infimum of . Similar reasoning works in the opposite direction).
