Abstract
The study of continuous lattices was initiated by Dana Scott in the late 1960s in order to build mathematical models for certain constructs in theoretical computer science ([638] in LTF), and computational notions and motivations have continued to play a key role in the theory. Early successes included construction of a denotational semantics for certain programming languages where programs were semantically interpreted as functions between appropriate input and output domains (see, e.g., [271]) and construction of a specific domain of computation that provided a model for the untyped lambda calculus (see, [639] in LTF), no concrete model of the untyped lambda calculus having hitherto been given.
