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. B: ] q. B# v( I# T H2 l

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:2 v$ O1 ?6 {( e1 Q- o J, z' @# J

Furthermore, every subgroup of G is a partially ordered group: it inherits the order from G. + [2 w% b) k5 ]: ~# o/ x4 w- @序线性空间是有序群 6 p! J9 P5 [0 y }; x2 N: m, R& J I2 X' S( l8 H
