'''Domain theory''' is a   branch of [[mathematics]] that studies special kinds of [[partially ordered set]]s (posets) commonly called '''domains'''. Consequently, domain theory can be considered as a branch of [[order theory]]. The field has major applications in [[computer science]], where it is used to specify [[denotational semantics]], especially for [[functional programming|functional programming languages]]. Domain theory formalizes the intu(contracted; show full)

:<math> y \sqsubseteq \sup D </math>,

there is some element ''d'' in ''D'' such that 

:<math
> x \sqsubseteq d </math>.

Then one also says that ''x'' ''approximates'' ''y'' and writes 

:<math> x \ll y </math>.

This does imply that
