48-487: An ordered ring , also called a totally ordered ring , is a partially ordered ring ( A , ≤ ) {\displaystyle (A,\leq )} where ≤ {\displaystyle \,\leq \,} is additionally a total order . An l-ring , or lattice-ordered ring , is a partially ordered ring ( A , ≤ ) {\displaystyle (A,\leq )} where ≤ {\displaystyle \,\leq \,}

96-406: A Noetherian ring is a ring whose ideals satisfy the ascending chain condition. In other contexts, only chains that are finite sets are considered. In this case, one talks of a finite chain , often shortened as a chain . In this case, the length of a chain is the number of inequalities (or set inclusions) between consecutive elements of the chain; that is, the number minus one of elements in

144-476: A separation relation . Subset In mathematics, a set A is a subset of a set B if all elements of A are also elements of B ; B is then a superset of A . It is possible for A and B to be equal; if they are unequal, then A is a proper subset of B . The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion (or sometimes containment ). A is a subset of B may also be expressed as B includes (or contains) A or A

192-522: A total order or linear order is a partial order in which any two elements are comparable. That is, a total order is a binary relation ≤ {\displaystyle \leq } on some set X {\displaystyle X} , which satisfies the following for all a , b {\displaystyle a,b} and c {\displaystyle c} in X {\displaystyle X} : Reflexivity (1.) already follows from connectedness (4.), but

240-481: A chain can be identified with a monotone sequence , and is called an ascending chain or a descending chain , depending whether the sequence is increasing or decreasing. A partially ordered set has the descending chain condition if every descending chain eventually stabilizes. For example, an order is well founded if it has the descending chain condition. Similarly, the ascending chain condition means that every ascending chain eventually stabilizes. For example,

288-564: A corresponding total preorder on that subset. All definitions tacitly require the homogeneous relation R {\displaystyle R} be transitive : for all a , b , c , {\displaystyle a,b,c,} if a R b {\displaystyle aRb} and b R c {\displaystyle bRc} then a R c . {\displaystyle aRc.} A term's definition may require additional properties that are not listed in this table. A binary relation that

336-445: A given set that is ordered by inclusion, and the term is used for stating properties of the set of the chains. This high number of nested levels of sets explains the usefulness of the term. A common example of the use of chain for referring to totally ordered subsets is Zorn's lemma which asserts that, if every chain in a partially ordered set X has an upper bound in X , then X contains at least one maximal element. Zorn's lemma

384-424: A least element. Thus every finite total order is in fact a well order . Either by direct proof or by observing that every well order is order isomorphic to an ordinal one may show that every finite total order is order isomorphic to an initial segment of the natural numbers ordered by <. In other words, a total order on a set with k elements induces a bijection with the first k natural numbers. Hence it

432-502: A paper titled "Lattice-ordered rings", in an attempt to restrict the class of l-rings so as to eliminate a number of pathological examples. For example, Birkhoff and Pierce demonstrated an l-ring with 1 in which 1 is not positive, even though it is a square. The additional hypothesis required of f-rings eliminates this possibility. Let X {\displaystyle X} be a Hausdorff space , and C ( X ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}(X)} be

480-932: A proof technique known as the element argument : Let sets A and B be given. To prove that A ⊆ B , {\displaystyle A\subseteq B,} The validity of this technique can be seen as a consequence of universal generalization : the technique shows ( c ∈ A ) ⇒ ( c ∈ B ) {\displaystyle (c\in A)\Rightarrow (c\in B)} for an arbitrarily chosen element c . Universal generalisation then implies ∀ x ( x ∈ A ⇒ x ∈ B ) , {\displaystyle \forall x\left(x\in A\Rightarrow x\in B\right),} which

528-413: A total order as defined above is sometimes called non-strict order. For each (non-strict) total order ≤ {\displaystyle \leq } there is an associated relation < {\displaystyle <} , called the strict total order associated with ≤ {\displaystyle \leq } that can be defined in two equivalent ways: Conversely,

576-411: A totally ordered subset of a given partially ordered set. An extension of a given partial order to a total order is called a linear extension of that partial order. A strict total order on a set X {\displaystyle X} is a strict partial order on X {\displaystyle X} in which any two distinct elements are comparable. That is, a strict total order

624-514: Is less than y (an irreflexive relation ). Similarly, using the convention that ⊂ {\displaystyle \subset } is proper subset, if A ⊆ B , {\displaystyle A\subseteq B,} then A may or may not equal B , but if A ⊂ B , {\displaystyle A\subset B,} then A definitely does not equal B . Another example in an Euler diagram : The set of all subsets of S {\displaystyle S}

672-486: Is vacuously a subset of any set X . Some authors use the symbols ⊂ {\displaystyle \subset } and ⊃ {\displaystyle \supset } to indicate subset and superset respectively; that is, with the same meaning as and instead of the symbols ⊆ {\displaystyle \subseteq } and ⊇ . {\displaystyle \supseteq .} For example, for these authors, it

720-467: Is a binary relation < {\displaystyle <} on some set X {\displaystyle X} , which satisfies the following for all a , b {\displaystyle a,b} and c {\displaystyle c} in X {\displaystyle X} : Asymmetry follows from transitivity and irreflexivity; moreover, irreflexivity follows from asymmetry. For delimitation purposes,

768-563: Is a subset of a ring A , {\displaystyle A,} and: then the relation ≤ {\displaystyle \,\leq \,} where x ≤ y {\displaystyle x\leq y} if and only if y − x ∈ S {\displaystyle y-x\in S} defines a compatible partial order on A {\displaystyle A} (that is, ( A , ≤ ) {\displaystyle (A,\leq )}

816-505: Is a linear order, where the sets A i {\displaystyle A_{i}} are pairwise disjoint, then the natural total order on ⋃ i A i {\displaystyle \bigcup _{i}A_{i}} is defined by The first-order theory of total orders is decidable , i.e. there is an algorithm for deciding which first-order statements hold for all total orders. Using interpretability in S2S ,

864-410: Is a natural order ≤ + {\displaystyle \leq _{+}} on the set A 1 ∪ A 2 {\displaystyle A_{1}\cup A_{2}} , which is called the sum of the two orders or sometimes just A 1 + A 2 {\displaystyle A_{1}+A_{2}} : Intuitively, this means that the elements of

912-402: Is a partially ordered ring). In any l-ring, the absolute value | x | {\displaystyle |x|} of an element x {\displaystyle x} can be defined to be x ∨ ( − x ) , {\displaystyle x\vee (-x),} where x ∨ y {\displaystyle x\vee y} denotes

960-476: Is additionally a lattice order . The additive group of a partially ordered ring is always a partially ordered group . The set of non-negative elements of a partially ordered ring (the set of elements x {\displaystyle x} for which 0 ≤ x , {\displaystyle 0\leq x,} also called the positive cone of the ring) is closed under addition and multiplication, that is, if P {\displaystyle P}

1008-426: Is antisymmetric, transitive, and reflexive (but not necessarily total) is a partial order . A group with a compatible total order is a totally ordered group . There are only a few nontrivial structures that are (interdefinable as) reducts of a total order. Forgetting the orientation results in a betweenness relation . Forgetting the location of the ends results in a cyclic order . Forgetting both data results in

1056-803: Is called its power set , and is denoted by P ( S ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}(S)} . The inclusion relation ⊆ {\displaystyle \subseteq } is a partial order on the set P ( S ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}(S)} defined by A ≤ B ⟺ A ⊆ B {\displaystyle A\leq B\iff A\subseteq B} . We may also partially order P ( S ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}(S)} by reverse set inclusion by defining A ≤ B  if and only if  B ⊆ A . {\displaystyle A\leq B{\text{ if and only if }}B\subseteq A.} For

1104-465: Is common to index finite total orders or well orders with order type ω by natural numbers in a fashion which respects the ordering (either starting with zero or with one). Totally ordered sets form a full subcategory of the category of partially ordered sets , with the morphisms being maps which respect the orders, i.e. maps f such that if a ≤ b then f ( a ) ≤ f ( b ). A bijective map between two totally ordered sets that respects

1152-447: Is commonly used with X being a set of subsets; in this case, the upper bound is obtained by proving that the union of the elements of a chain in X is in X . This is the way that is generally used to prove that a vector space has Hamel bases and that a ring has maximal ideals . In some contexts, the chains that are considered are order isomorphic to the natural numbers with their usual order or its opposite order . In this case,

1200-400: Is complete but the set of rational numbers Q is not. In other words, the various concepts of completeness (not to be confused with being "total") do not carry over to restrictions . For example, over the real numbers a property of the relation ≤ is that every non-empty subset S of R with an upper bound in R has a least upper bound (also called supremum) in R . However, for

1248-533: Is equivalent to A ⊆ B , {\displaystyle A\subseteq B,} as stated above. If A and B are sets and every element of A is also an element of B , then: If A is a subset of B , but A is not equal to B (i.e. there exists at least one element of B which is not an element of A ), then: The empty set , written { } {\displaystyle \{\}} or ∅ , {\displaystyle \varnothing ,} has no elements, and therefore

1296-543: Is given by regular chains of polynomials. Another example is the use of "chain" as a synonym for a walk in a graph . One may define a totally ordered set as a particular kind of lattice , namely one in which we have We then write a ≤ b if and only if a = a ∧ b {\displaystyle a=a\wedge b} . Hence a totally ordered set is a distributive lattice . A simple counting argument will verify that any non-empty finite totally ordered set (and hence any non-empty subset thereof) has

1344-498: Is included (or contained) in B . A k -subset is a subset with k elements. When quantified, A ⊆ B {\displaystyle A\subseteq B} is represented as ∀ x ( x ∈ A ⇒ x ∈ B ) . {\displaystyle \forall x\left(x\in A\Rightarrow x\in B\right).} One can prove the statement A ⊆ B {\displaystyle A\subseteq B} by applying

1392-431: Is required explicitly by many authors nevertheless, to indicate the kinship to partial orders. Total orders are sometimes also called simple , connex , or full orders . A set equipped with a total order is a totally ordered set ; the terms simply ordered set , linearly ordered set , and loset are also used. The term chain is sometimes defined as a synonym of totally ordered set , but generally refers to

1440-424: Is the set of non-negative elements of a partially ordered ring, then P + P ⊆ P {\displaystyle P+P\subseteq P} and P ⋅ P ⊆ P . {\displaystyle P\cdot P\subseteq P.} Furthermore, P ∩ ( − P ) = { 0 } . {\displaystyle P\cap (-P)=\{0\}.} The mapping of

1488-405: Is true of every set A that A ⊂ A . {\displaystyle A\subset A.} (a reflexive relation ). Other authors prefer to use the symbols ⊂ {\displaystyle \subset } and ⊃ {\displaystyle \supset } to indicate proper (also called strict) subset and proper superset respectively; that is, with

An f-ring , or Pierce–Birkhoff ring , is a lattice-ordered ring ( A , ≤ ) {\displaystyle (A,\leq )} in which x ∧ y = 0 {\displaystyle x\wedge y=0} and 0 ≤ z {\displaystyle 0\leq z} imply that z x ∧ y = x z ∧ y = 0 {\displaystyle zx\wedge y=xz\wedge y=0} for all x , y , z ∈ A . {\displaystyle x,y,z\in A.} They were first introduced by Garrett Birkhoff and Richard S. Pierce in 1956, in

1632-474: The monadic second-order theory of countable total orders is also decidable. There are several ways to take two totally ordered sets and extend to an order on the Cartesian product , though the resulting order may only be partial . Here are three of these possible orders, listed such that each order is stronger than the next: Each of these orders extends the next in the sense that if we have x ≤ y in

1680-401: The reflexive closure of a strict total order < {\displaystyle <} is a (non-strict) total order. The term chain is sometimes defined as a synonym for a totally ordered set, but it is generally used for referring to a subset of a partially ordered set that is totally ordered for the induced order. Typically, the partially ordered set is a set of subsets of

For any two disjoint total orders ( A 1 , ≤ 1 ) {\displaystyle (A_{1},\leq _{1})} and ( A 2 , ≤ 2 ) {\displaystyle (A_{2},\leq _{2})} , there

1824-594: The chain. Thus a singleton set is a chain of length zero, and an ordered pair is a chain of length one. The dimension of a space is often defined or characterized as the maximal length of chains of subspaces. For example, the dimension of a vector space is the maximal length of chains of linear subspaces , and the Krull dimension of a commutative ring is the maximal length of chains of prime ideals . "Chain" may also be used for some totally ordered subsets of structures that are not partially ordered sets. An example

1872-391: The compatible partial order on a ring A {\displaystyle A} to the set of its non-negative elements is one-to-one ; that is, the compatible partial order uniquely determines the set of non-negative elements, and a set of elements uniquely determines the compatible partial order if one exists. If S ⊆ A {\displaystyle S\subseteq A}

1920-419: The order topology on N induced by < and the order topology on N induced by > (in this case they happen to be identical but will not in general). The order topology induced by a total order may be shown to be hereditarily normal . A totally ordered set is said to be complete if every nonempty subset that has an upper bound , has a least upper bound . For example, the set of real numbers R

1968-944: The power set P ⁡ ( S ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {\mathcal {P}} (S)} of a set S , the inclusion partial order is—up to an order isomorphism —the Cartesian product of k = | S | {\displaystyle k=|S|} (the cardinality of S ) copies of the partial order on { 0 , 1 } {\displaystyle \{0,1\}} for which 0 < 1. {\displaystyle 0<1.} This can be illustrated by enumerating S = { s 1 , s 2 , … , s k } , {\displaystyle S=\left\{s_{1},s_{2},\ldots ,s_{k}\right\},} , and associating with each subset T ⊆ S {\displaystyle T\subseteq S} (i.e., each element of 2 S {\displaystyle 2^{S}} )

2016-460: The product order, this relation also holds in the lexicographic order, and so on. All three can similarly be defined for the Cartesian product of more than two sets. Applied to the vector space R , each of these make it an ordered vector space . See also examples of partially ordered sets . A real function of n real variables defined on a subset of R defines a strict weak order and

2064-597: The properties of these rings is the class of real closed rings . IsarMathLib , a library for the Isabelle theorem prover , has formal verifications of a few fundamental results on commutative ordered rings. The results are proved in the ring1 context. Suppose ( A , ≤ ) {\displaystyle (A,\leq )} is a commutative ordered ring, and x , y , z ∈ A . {\displaystyle x,y,z\in A.} Then: Total order In mathematics ,

2112-412: The rational numbers this supremum is not necessarily rational, so the same property does not hold on the restriction of the relation ≤ to the rational numbers. There are a number of results relating properties of the order topology to the completeness of X: A totally ordered set (with its order topology) which is a complete lattice is compact . Examples are the closed intervals of real numbers, e.g.

2160-411: The rings C ( X ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}(X)} are fairly rigid. For example, localisations , residue rings or limits of rings of the form C ( X ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}(X)} are not of this form in general. A much more flexible class of f-rings containing all rings of continuous functions and resembling many of

2208-736: The same meaning as and instead of the symbols ⊊ {\displaystyle \subsetneq } and ⊋ . {\displaystyle \supsetneq .} This usage makes ⊆ {\displaystyle \subseteq } and ⊂ {\displaystyle \subset } analogous to the inequality symbols ≤ {\displaystyle \leq } and < . {\displaystyle <.} For example, if x ≤ y , {\displaystyle x\leq y,} then x may or may not equal y , but if x < y , {\displaystyle x<y,} then x definitely does not equal y , and

2304-446: The two orders is an isomorphism in this category. For any totally ordered set X we can define the open intervals We can use these open intervals to define a topology on any ordered set, the order topology . When more than one order is being used on a set one talks about the order topology induced by a particular order. For instance if N is the natural numbers, < is less than and > greater than we might refer to
