Product orderIn mathematics, given a partial order and on a set and , respectively, the product order (also called the coordinatewise order or componentwise order) is a partial ordering on the Cartesian product Given two pairs and in declare that if and Another possible ordering on is the lexicographical order, which is a total ordering. However the product order of two total orders is not in general total; for example, the pairs and are incomparable in the product order of the ordering with itself.
Series-parallel partial orderIn order-theoretic mathematics, a series-parallel partial order is a partially ordered set built up from smaller series-parallel partial orders by two simple composition operations. The series-parallel partial orders may be characterized as the N-free finite partial orders; they have order dimension at most two. They include weak orders and the reachability relationship in directed trees and directed series–parallel graphs. The comparability graphs of series-parallel partial orders are cographs.
Order dimensionIn mathematics, the dimension of a partially ordered set (poset) is the smallest number of total orders the intersection of which gives rise to the partial order. This concept is also sometimes called the order dimension or the Dushnik–Miller dimension of the partial order. first studied order dimension; for a more detailed treatment of this subject than provided here, see . The dimension of a poset P is the least integer t for which there exists a family of linear extensions of P so that, for every x and y in P, x precedes y in P if and only if it precedes y in all of the linear extensions.
SemiorderIn order theory, a branch of mathematics, a semiorder is a type of ordering for items with numerical scores, where items with widely differing scores are compared by their scores and where scores within a given margin of error are deemed incomparable. Semiorders were introduced and applied in mathematical psychology by as a model of human preference. They generalize strict weak orderings, in which items with equal scores may be tied but there is no margin of error.
Ordre lexicographiqueEn mathématiques, un ordre lexicographique est un ordre que l'on définit sur les suites finies d'éléments d'un ensemble ordonné (ou, de façon équivalente, les mots construits sur un ensemble ordonné). Sa définition est une généralisation de l'ordre du dictionnaire : l'ensemble ordonné est l'alphabet, les mots sont bien des suites finies de lettres de l'alphabet. La principale propriété de l'ordre lexicographique est de conserver la totalité de l'ordre initial.
Weak orderingIn mathematics, especially order theory, a weak ordering is a mathematical formalization of the intuitive notion of a ranking of a set, some of whose members may be tied with each other. Weak orders are a generalization of totally ordered sets (rankings without ties) and are in turn generalized by (strictly) partially ordered sets and preorders.
