[Moshe] > The mathematical definition for max() I learned in Calculus 101 was > "the smallest element which is > then all arguments" Then I guess American and Dutch calculus are different. Assuming you meant to type >=, that's the definition of what we called the "least upper bound" (or "lub") or "supremum" (or "sup"); and what I suppose you call "min" we called "greatest lower bound" (or "glb") or "infimum". I've never before heard max or min used for these. In lattices, a glb operator is often called "meet" and a lub operator "join", but again I don't think I've ever seen them called max or min.
