On the Dedekind-MacNeille closure of an ordered set and a theorem of Novák (Q1601398)

\textit{V. Novák} [Math. Ann. 179, 337-342 (1969; Zbl 0162.03401)] proved that if \(G\) is a \(\sigma \)-dense and \(\delta \)-dense subset of an ordered set \(H\) then \(H\) and \(G\) have the same dimension. The author of the paper under review directly proves a particular case of this result, namely that the Dedekind-MacNeille closure of an ordered set \(S\) has the same dimension as \(S\).
