Existence of infimum on the set of equivalence classes

Let $Q$ be a complete lattice.



Let $sim$ be an equivalence relation on $Q$ conforming to the axiom $$(f_0sim f_1wedge g_0sim g_1wedge f_0leq g_0)Rightarrow f_1leq g_1.$$



Define the order on the set $Q/sim$ of equivalence classes in the obvious way.



Now let $S$ be a (nonempty) set of equivalence classes. Is it true that the infimum $inf S$ necessarily exists and $inf S=[inf_{Xin S} A_X]$ where $A_Xin X$ for every equivalence class $X$?

          $[inf_{Xin S}A_X]leq X$ for every $Xin S$ because $inf_{Xin S}A_Xleq A_X$.



          Suppose an equivalence class $Lleq X$ for every $Xin S$.



          Take $lin L$. We have $lleq A_X$; $lleqinf_{Xin S}A_X$; $Lleq[inf_{Xin S}A_X]$.



          Thus $[inf_{Xin S}A_X]$ is the greatest lower bound of $S$.
