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.2 x' ?/ T7 v* r# R. w$ r5 U

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+.4 r: p! q; q; ~: `

A Riesz space is a lattice-ordered group : M7 M6 e( H3 O2 X+ eA 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. ~$ p" K( Y1 p" x4 ZMore generally, if G is a partially ordered group and X is some set, then the set of all functions from X to G is again a partially ordered group: all operations are performed componentwise. Furthermore, every subgroup of G is a partially ordered group: it inherits the order from G. 4 a5 g5 i$ j e3 @; |序线性空间是有序群 7 |4 |6 Y4 }) N: a7 S# q/ G$ A! }7 X
