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.* u+ }& a! E! W" @ z- ~/ i( t

By the definition, we can reduce the partial order to a monadic property: a ≤ b if and only if 0 ≤ -a+b. d2 \- s8 g; \8 l

Furthermore, every subgroup of G is a partially ordered group: it inherits the order from G. : N9 S; ^5 s0 V) ] k( {$ o9 F
