Ordered sets

[full garnet]

Someone explain to me what the difference between the two are?
I've beeb banging my head against a wall for 1 hour trying to understand how these 2 things are diffenret

Let (A, <=) be a poset (partial ordered set) and S and non-empty subset of A

Then e an element of S is :

1. minimal element of S if for every a in S, a <= e implies a = e
2. minimum of S if e <= a for all a in S

(The same goes for the other 2 definitons of maximal element and maximum)

1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with: ```diff
   +close

according to your definitions, in this poset

here 4 and 3 are minimum elements

1 is the minimal element

So the difference between the 2 is just that minimums are unique and minimal can be more than 1
