- A subset S of the vertices of a directed acyclic graph is called glb-closed, if it contains the greatest lower bounds of all pairs of vertices of S. […] Directed acyclic graphs are widely used in different areas of computer science.

- In studying these properties, a distinction is made between directed acyclic graphs with directed edges and simple acyclic graphs with undirected edges. […] A directed acyclic graph is asymmetric and does not contain cycles.
