<p>Given a partial order <em>R</em>_≤ over a set <em>D</em>, the set of upper bounds under <em>R</em> of a subset <em>S</em> of <em>D</em> is commonly defined as { <em>y</em> ∈ <em>D</em> | ∀ <em>x</em> ∈ <em>S</em>, <em>x R y</em> }.</p> <p>(The set of lower bounds of <em>S</em> may be defined as the set of upper bounds of <em>S</em> under the converse relation <em>R</em>^-1)</p> <p>Is there a common name for the generalization of this notion where <em>R</em> is not a partial order, and is possibly a heterogenous relation between domain <em>D</em> and codomain <em>D'</em> (hence the <em>y</em> would be elements of the codomain)? This would be a subset of the image of <em>S</em> under <em>R</em> (and conversely, the dual notion would be a subset of the preimage).</p>
