  bounded
       
          <theory> In {domain theory}, a subset S of a {cpo} X is
          bounded if there exists x in X such that for all s in S, s <=
          x.  In other words, there is some element above all of S.  If
          every bounded subset of X has a least upper bound then X is
          boundedly {complete}.
