Tessellate S.T.E.M.S - Computer Science - College - Set 1 - Problem 3

Consider the set N \mathbb{N}^* of finite sequences of natural numbers. Let P = { ( x , y ) : x is a prefix sequence of y } P = \{ (x,y): x \text{ is a prefix sequence of } y \} . Let P P induce the relation < P <_P , where x < P y x <_P y if ( x , y ) (x,y) are in P P . Which of the following are true?

  1. N \mathbb{N}^* is countable.
  2. < P <_P is a well quasi-order .
  3. < P <_P is a total order.
  4. Every non-empty subset of N \mathbb{N}^* has a least upper bound.
  5. Every non-empty subset of N \mathbb{N}^* has a greatest lower bound.
