USDInformation content and programming semantics are just two of the applications of the mathematical concepts of order, continuity and domains. This authoritative and comprehensive account of the subject will be an essential handbook for all those working in the area. An extensive index and bibliography make this an ideal sourcebook for all those working in domain theory.
- The only self-contained introduction to the mathematical theory of continuous lattices and domains
- An authoritative resource for experts and students
- Based on the authors' classic 'Compendium of Continuous Lattices', bringing together the major developments of the last 21 years
Reviews & endorsements
"Although a number of books treating various aspects of domains and continuous lattices have appeared since 1980, none are as up to date and comprehensive as this book. It is and will remain the best resource on continuous lattices, domains, applications, and the vast literature on these topics." Mathematical Reviews
