[parent] comparison of filters (Definition)

Let $ \mathbb{F}_1$ and $ \mathbb{F}_2$ be two filters on the same set. The following terminology is commonly used to describe the relation of $ \mathbb{F}_1$ to $ \mathbb{F}_2$:

$ \mathbb{F}_2$ is said to be finer than $ \mathbb{F}_1$ if $ \mathbb{F}_1 \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2$.

$ \mathbb{F}_2$ is said to be coarser than $ \mathbb{F}_1$ if $ \mathbb{F}_1 \supseteq \mathbb{F}_2$.

$ \mathbb{F}_2$ is said to be strictly finer than $ \mathbb{F}_1$ if $ \mathbb{F}_1 \subset \mathbb{F}_2$.

$ \mathbb{F}_2$ is said to be strictly coarser than $ \mathbb{F}_1$ if $ \mathbb{F}_1 \supset \mathbb{F}_2$.

$ \mathbb{F}_1$ and $ \mathbb{F}_2$ are said to be comparable if either $ \mathbb{F}_1 \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2$ or $ \mathbb{F}_1 \supseteq \mathbb{F}_2$.
