Abstract: In this paper,first we define the concept of strong open set for topological space. Then we prove: 1 ) a distributive lattice L possesses the smallest set of generating elements if and only if the Stone space (L) of L possesses a smallest base constructed by strong open sets; 2) a Bollean lattice B possesses the smallest set of generating elements if and only if B is a finite Boolean lattice. 

Key words: Stone space, strong open set, smallest base, smallest set of generating elements ,
