Dedekind cut

(mathematics) Any partition of the set of rational numbers into non-empty sets A and B such that all elements of A are less than all elements of B and A contains no greatest element; intended as a construction of a real number.

Japanese Meaning

有理数全体を、非空な集合 A と B に分割し、A のすべての要素が B のすべての要素より小さいようにし、かつ A に最大の要素が存在しないという条件を満たす分割。実数を構成するための数学的手法の一つ。

What is this buttons?

To rigorously construct the real numbers, a Dedekind cut partitions the rational numbers so that one side has no greatest element, thereby representing irrational numbers as gaps.
