-==== Galois Connection ==== 
  
-Galois connection is defined by two monotonic functions $\alpha : C \to A$ and $\gamma : A \to C$ between [[:partial order]]s $\leq$ on $C$ and $\sqsubseteq$ on $A$, such that 
-\begin{equation*} 
-  \alpha(c) \sqsubseteq a\ \iff\ c \leq \gamma(a) \qquad (*) 
-\end{equation*} 
-for all $c$ and $a$ (intuitively,​ the condition means that $c$ is approximated by $a$). 
- 
-**Lemma:** The condition $(*)$ holds iff the conjunction of these two conditions: 
-\begin{eqnarray*} 
-  c &​\leq&​ \gamma(\alpha(c)) \\ 
-  \alpha(\gamma(a)) &​\sqsubseteq&​ a 
-\end{eqnarray*} 
-holds for all $c$ and $a$. 
- 
-**Lemma:** Let $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ satisfy the condition of Galois connection. ​ Then the following three conditions are equivalent: 
-  * $\alpha(\gamma(a)) = a$ for all $a$ 
-  * $\alpha$ is a [[wk>​surjective function]] 
-  * $\gamma$ is an [[wk>​injective function]]
