=====Ordered semigroups===== Abbreviation: **OSgrp** ====Definition==== An \emph{ordered semigroup} is a [[partially ordered semigroup]] $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot,\le\rangle$ such that $\le$ is \emph{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: $h(x \cdot y)=h(x) \cdot h(y)$, $x\le y\Longrightarrow h(x)\le h(y)$. ====Examples==== Example 1: ====Basic results==== ====Properties==== ^[[Classtype]] |universal | ^[[Equational theory]] | | ^[[Quasiequational theory]] | | ^[[First-order theory]] | | ^[[Locally finite]] | | ^[[Residual size]] | | ^[[Congruence distributive]] | | ^[[Congruence modular]] | | ^[[Congruence $n$-permutable]] | | ^[[Congruence regular]] | | ^[[Congruence uniform]] | | ^[[Congruence extension property]] | | ^[[Definable principal congruences]] | | ^[[Equationally def. pr. cong.]] | | ^[[Amalgamation property]] | | ^[[Strong amalgamation property]] | | ^[[Epimorphisms are surjective]] | | ====Finite members==== $\begin{array}{rr} f(1)=&1\\ f(2)=&6\\ f(3)=&44\\ f(4)=&386\\ f(5)=&3852\\ f(6)=&42640\\ f(7)=&516791\\ f(8)=&6817378\\ \end{array}$ http://oeis.org/A084965 ====Subclasses==== [[Commutative ordered semigroups]] ====Superclasses==== [[Partially ordered semigroups]] [[Chains]] reduced type ====References==== [(Lastname19xx> F.
