In

minimal element

0 has the disjunction property of Wallman when for every pair (a, b) of elements of the poset, either b ≤ a or there exists an element c ≤ b such that c ≠ 0 and c has no nontrivial common predecessor with a. That is, in the latter case, the only x with x ≤ a and x ≤ c is x = 0.

A version of this property for

homology theory of a topological space could be defined in terms of its distributive lattice of closed sets. He observed that the inclusion order on the closed sets of a T1 space has the disjunction property. The generalization to partial orders was introduced by Wolk (1956)

	In [[mathematics]], especially in [[order theory]], a [[partially ordered set]] with a unique [[minimal element]] 0 has the '''disjunction property of Wallman''' when for every pair (''a'', ''b'') of elements of the poset, either ''b'' ≤ ''a'' or there exists an element ''c'' ≤ ''b'' such that ''c'' ≠ 0 and ''c'' has no nontrivial common predecessor with ''a''. That is, in the latter case, the only ''x'' with ''x'' ≤ ''a'' and ''x'' ≤ ''c'' is ''x'' = 0.
