51 A

For all linear orders \((X,\le )\), there is a \(\sup\) function on the bounded, well ordered subsets of \(X\).

Manka [1988a]

51 B

\(Z(L,W)\): Every non-empty linearly ordered set in which every well ordered subset has an upper bound has a maximal element. H. Rubin/J. Rubin [1985], page 37, \(M1(L,W)\).

51 C

For every linearly ordered set \((X,\le )\), if every well ordered subset of \(X\) is bounded above then there is a \(\sup\) function on the well ordered subsets of \(X\).
