Why we can't say $]1,2]$ has a Minimum? Is it because we use this assertion only in the context of a partial order or total order which are not strict?
The Well-Ordering-Theorem says that every set can be well-ordered. A set X is well-ordered by a strict total order if every non-empty subset of X has a least element under the ordering.
And the Concept of Minimum is based on boundedness. A subset of a partially ordered set X is called bounded if it has both an upper and a lower bound.
