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.; W2 F. F Q- T" f8 Y& G

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+. D- k: x$ e: P5 T7 Y% i( M9 H" U& X2 O* m6 `
By the definition, we can reduce the partial order to a monadic property: a ≤ b if and only if 0 ≤ -a+b. .
