Definition df-inf

Description: Define the infimum of class A . It is meaningful when R is a relation that strictly orders B and when the infimum exists. For example, R could be 'less than', B could be the set of real numbers, and A could be the set of all positive reals; in this case the infimum is 0. The infimum is defined as the supremum using the converse ordering relation. In the given example, 0 is the supremum of all reals (greatest real number) for which all positive reals are greater.
