In abstract algebra, a partially ordered group is a group (G,+) equipped with a partial order "≤" that is translation-invariant; in other words, "≤" has the property that, for all a, b, and g in G, if a ≤ b then a+g ≤ b+g and g+a ≤ g+b.& G) q6 G' f9 m5 ]$ r

An element x of G is called positive element if 0 ≤ x. The set of elements 0 ≤ x is often denoted with G+, and it is called the positive cone of G. So we have a ≤ b if and only if -a+b ∈ G+. & ]2 h: R+ a& N. K3 B2 y( y1 `- k
By the definition, we can reduce the partial order to a monadic property: a ≤ b if and only if 0 ≤ -a+b." R. G3 g: N6 R. v6 A+ V8 {* M

For the general group G, the existence of a positive cone specifies an order on G. A group G is a partially ordered group if and only if there exists a subset H (which is G+) of G such that:$ N1 D: e$ i9 d1 S* n

A typical example of a partially ordered group is Zn, where the group operation is componentwise addition, and we write (a1,...,an) ≤ (b1,...,bn) if and only if ai ≤ bi (in the usual order of integers) for all i=1,...,n. 0 O( C.

Furthermore, every subgroup of G is a partially ordered group: it inherits the order from G. ( F; j+ P2 G; H2 V. o; W8 ~: |
