(set theory, order theory, formally) Theordered pair comprising a set and its partial order.

Apartially ordered set means a pair consisting of a set and a partial order in. As usual, when the meaning is clear, we may suppress the notation of "" and speak of thepartially ordered set.
The ordered fields defined earlier are easily seen to be examples ofpartially ordered sets.

In sections 7-10 we shall consider random fields over some subsets T of thepartially ordered set TM.

The invention of a derivative of a finitepartially ordered set by Nazarova and Roiter in the late 1960s or early 1970s was a seminal event in the subject of representations of finitepartially ordered sets (see [Simson 92]).
