The set 5) may be finite or infinite, but a linear combination (see 99) must have
only a finite number of nonzero terms. If the subspace spanned by the set 5) is U
itself, then S) is called a spanning set or generating system of U. If U is spanned

The most general finite distributive lattice may be constructed by a simple
generalization of Skolem's theorem. Namely, L is assumed to be any finite
distributive lattice, and A is assumed to be the set of all properly join-irreducible
elements of L; ...
