Order theory

List of order structures in mathematics

In mathematics, and more specifically in order theory, several different types of ordered set have been studied.They include: * Cyclic orders, orderings in which triples of elements are either clockwise or counterclockwise * Lattices, partial orders in which each pair of elements has a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound. Many different types of lattice have been studied; see map of lattices for a list. * Partially ordered sets (or posets), orderings in which some pairs are comparable and others might not be * Preorders, a generalization of partial orders allowing ties (represented as equivalences and distinct from incomparabilities) * Semiorders, partial orders determined by comparison of numerical values, in which values that are too close to each other are incomparable; a subfamily of partial orders with certain restrictions * Total orders, orderings that specify, for every two distinct elements, which one is less than the other * Weak orders, generalizations of total orders allowing ties (represented either as equivalences or, in strict weak orders, as transitive incomparabilities) * Well-orders, total orders in which every non-empty subset has a least element * Well-quasi-orderings, a class of preorders generalizing the well-orders (Wikipedia).

Sets and other data structures | Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 151

In mathematics we often want to organize objects. Sets are not the only way of doing this: there are other data types that are also useful and that can be considered together with set theory. In particular when we group objects together, there are two fundamental questions that naturally a

14 Ordering of sets

The elements of a set can be ordered by a relation. Some relation cause proper ordering and some, partial ordering. Have a look at some examples.

Fun with lists, multisets and sets IV | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 161

In this video we complete our initial discussion of the four types of basic data structures by describing sets, which are unordered and without repetition. As usual we restrict ourselves to very concrete and specific examples: k-sets from n, where k is a natural number or zero, and n is a

Order and Size of a Graph | Graph Theory

What is the order and size of a graph? We'll go over them both in this math lesson! A graph is an ordered pair with a vertex set and an edge set. The order of a graph is the cardinality of its vertex set, which is the number of vertices in the graph. The size of a graph is the cardinality

Order of Elements in a Group | Abstract Algebra

We introduce the order of group elements in this Abstract Algebra lessons. We'll see the definition of the order of an element in a group, several examples of finding the order of an element in a group, and we will introduce two basic but important results concerning distinct powers of ele

15 Properties of partially ordered sets

When a relation induces a partial ordering of a set, that set has certain properties with respect to the reflexive, (anti)-symmetric, and transitive properties.

Groups in abstract algebra examples

In this tutorial I discuss two more examples of groups. The first contains four elements and they are the four fourth roots of 1. The second contains only three elements and they are the three cube roots of 1. Under the binary operation of multiplication, these sets are in fact groups.
