Ordered semigroups
Abbreviation: OSgrp
Definition
An ordered semigroup is a partially ordered semigroup $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot,\le\rangle$ such that
$\le$ is linear: $x\le y\text{ or }y\le x$
Morphisms
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be ordered semigroups. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a orderpreserving homomorphism: $h(x \cdot y)=h(x) \cdot h(y)$, $x\le y\Longrightarrow h(x)\le h(y)$.
