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. 9 k% @8 E4 b' c, }+ q: O+ @/ i2 c8 O- ~+ l" F
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+.3 Y) ]$ R) }5 C

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. % I+ z9 Y# O4 a" e; ?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. : r u/ v. N: e4 p" b" Z序线性空间是有序群 ; s I+ O! F+ c l0 h5 q T8 B x8 J4 eZ/R/R*都是有序交换群
