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. / S$ y3 f1 t# y% x1 _2 q0 p) q$ {/ W* G' U& T3 H! m& f9 u% b, J
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+. 9 \+ k! O. ^ j& c( ]- {* `3 n0 L4 Q
By the definition, we can reduce the partial order to a monadic property: a ≤ b if and only if 0 ≤ -a+b. 2 \8 U) V4 _3 v2 |* n+ @* I" N) K
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: % s8 A( I+ x- `! P1 b R % H- u9 m; S7 k3 R1 h& I3 u0 ∈ H 1 k9 S0 R7 A$ d# w/ m/ V

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. $ s" `8 _- |: N/ ]. b8 I3 ?More 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. 5 \8 A1 O: T1 p' A
