  1. lower bound

    In mathematics, a lower bound is defined as a number that is less than or equal to all numbers in a particular set. In simpler terms, it's the smallest number possible within a given set. More specifically, it may refer to a "greatest lower bound" (also called an infimum), which is the largest number that is still considered a lower bound of the specific set. This concept is used in various areas of mathematics including calculus, set theory, and analysis.
