On the Existence of Optima in Complete Chains and Lattices

Abstract

A necessary and sufficient condition for a preference ordering defined on a chain-complete poset to attain its maximum in every subcomplete chain is obtained. A meet-superextremal, or join-superextremal, function on a complete lattice attains its maximum in every subcomplete sublattice if and only if it attains a maximum in every subcomplete chain.
