1. sup

   In mathematics, "sup" stands for supremum. It is the least upper bound of a set or subset of values. In other words, it is the smallest value that is greater than or equal to every number in the dataset. If the set is bounded from above, the supremum exists and it can be either a number from the set or not. If the set is not bounded from above, the supremum is often defined as positive infinity.
