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.: F B, Y) z( H: h

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+. 2 A8 V.

Furthermore, every subgroup of G is a partially ordered group: it inherits the order from G. 6 k( K9 ~. i; t4 E2 Y& R/ U序线性空间是有序群 . a; B+ E2 a+ V8 q3 D' e" R. g/ d6 \: ~
