Maps between Ordered Sets
Let P and Q be ordered sets and a map ϕ:P → Q is said to be
1 Order-preserving (or alternatively monotone) if x ≤ y in P implies ϕ(x) ≤
ϕ(y) in Q
2 An order-embedding (and we write ϕ:P ,→ Q) if x ≤ y in P iff ϕ(x) ≤ ϕ(y)
in Q
3 An order-isomorphism if it is order-embedding which maps P onto Q

Example

1 ϕ1 is not order-preserving
2 ϕ2 to ϕ5 are order-preserving
but not order-embedding
3 ϕ6 is order-embedding

Maps between Ordered Sets

Theorem Theorem
Let ϕ:P → Q and ψ:Q → R be Ordered sets P and Q are
order-preserving maps then the order-preserving isomorphic iff there
exist order-preserving maps ϕ:P → Q
composite map ψ ◦ ϕ given by
and ψ:Q → P such that ϕ ◦ ψ = idQ
(ψ ◦ ϕ)(x) = ψ(ϕ(x )) for x ∈ P is also and ψ ◦ ϕ = idP [Where idS :S → S
order preserving denotes the identity map on S given by
idS (x) = x ∀ x ∈ S]
Proof.
Let x, y ∈ P and x ≤ y Proof.
Since ϕ is order preserving we’ve Since P & Q is ordered sets and ϕ:P →
ϕ(x) ≤ ϕ(y) in Q Q and ψ:Q → P are order-preserving
maps.
Again ψ is order preserving, we’ve Then ϕ is an inverse of ψ
ψ(ϕ(x)) ≤ ψ(ϕ(y)) in R Clearly ϕ ◦ ψ & ψ ◦ ϕ are identity
i.e. for x, y ∈ P and if x ≤ y in P, we get Conversely,
ψ(ϕ(x)) ≤ ψ(ϕ(y)) in R if ϕ is order-preserving and ϕ ◦ ψ is
∴ ϕ ◦ ψ is order-preserving. identity then ϕ is surjective. Hence
order-isomorphism

Exercise in Page 25

Solution
Given that (a) x < x is false and (b) x < y and y < z ⇒ x < z
to prove ≤ is an order in P defined by
x ≤ y ⇔ x < y or x = y
1 We’ve x ≤ x ∀ x ∈ P
∴ the relation is reflexive
2 x≤y&y≤x⇒x=y
∴ the relation is antisymmetric
3 x≤y&y≤z⇒x≤z
∴ the relation is transitive
Hence ≤ is an order in P
