[OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;       akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.       liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,       Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2.

least fixed point          A function f may have many {fixed points} (x such that f x =       x).   For example, any value is a fixed point of the identity       function, (\ x . x).   If f is {recursive}, we can represent it       as          f = fix F          where F is some {higher-order function} and          fix F = F (fix F).          The standard {denotational semantics} of f is then given by       the least fixed point of F.   This is the {least upper bound}       of the infinite sequence (the {ascending Kleene chain})       obtained by repeatedly applying F to the totally undefined       value, bottom.   I.e.          fix F = LUB {bottom, F bottom, F (F bottom), ...}.          The least fixed point is guaranteed to exist for a       {continuous} function over a {cpo}.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
least upper bound          (lub or "join", "supremum") The least upper bound of       two elements a and b is an upper bound c such that a <= c and       b <= c and if there is any other upper bound c' then c <= c'.       The least upper bound of a set S is the smallest b such that       for all s in S, s <= b.   The lub of mutually comparable       elements is their maximum but in the presence of incomparable       elements, if the lub exists, it will be some other element       greater than all of them.          Lub is the dual to {greatest lower bound}.          (In {LaTeX}, "<=" is written as {\sqsubseteq}, the lub of two       elements a and b is written a {\sqcup} b, and the lub of set S       is written as \bigsqcup S).          (1995-02-03)
