Abstract

In this paper the context of independent sets Jp_{L} is assigned to the complete lattice (P(M),⊆) of all subsets of a non-empty set M. Some properties of this context, especially the irreducibility and the span, are investigated.

Keywords

context, complete lattice, join-independent and meet-independent sets
