Keywords:
pseudo-ordered set; trellis; complete trellis; fixed point property; weak chain completeness
Summary:
In this paper the notion of weak chain-completeness is introduced for pseudo-ordered sets as an extension of the notion of chain-completeness of posets (see [3]) and it is shown that every isotone map of a weakly chain-complete pseudo-ordered set into itself has a least fixed point.
