\begin{document}
A partially ordered set $S$ (for example, a collection of subsets of a set $X$, ordered by inclusion) satisfies the {\it descending chain condition} or {\it DCC} if there does not exist an infinite descending chain $s_1 > s_2 > \cdots$ of elements of $S$.

See also the ascending chain condition (ACC).
