Explain the compactness relation for elements of dcpos and also in a category if objects

60 Views Asked by At

The way below relation is used to define compact elements in a dcpo. Can someone explain compactness and an object way below itself. Also, when we abstract this relation to categories, where the order structure is represented by morphisms, please explain compactness in this sense too.
