=====Partially ordered semigroups=====

Abbreviation: **PoSgrp**

====Definition====
A \emph{partially ordered semigroup} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot,\le\rangle$ such that

$\langle A,\cdot\rangle$ is a [[semigroup]]

$\langle G,\le\rangle$ is a [[partially ordered set]]

$\cdot$ is \emph{orderpreserving}:  $x\le y\Longrightarrow xz\le yz \text{ and } zx\le zy$

==Morphisms==
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be partially ordered monoids. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is an orderpreserving homomorphism: 
$h(x \cdot y)=h(x) \cdot h(y)$,
$x\le y\Longrightarrow h(x)\le h(y)$

====Examples====
Example 1: The natural numbers larger than 1, with addition, or with multiplication.
