Definition

Let $\left({S, \circ, \preceq}\right)$ and $\left({T, *, \preccurlyeq}\right)$ be ordered groups.


An ordered group isomorphism from $\left({S, \circ, \preceq}\right)$ to $\left({T, *, \preccurlyeq}\right)$ is a mapping $\phi: S \to T$ that is both:

$(1): \quad$ A group isomorphism from the group $\left({S, \circ}\right)$ to the group $\left({T, *}\right)$
$(2): \quad$ An order isomorphism from the ordered set $\left({S, \preceq}\right)$ to the ordered set $\left({T, \preccurlyeq}\right)$.

Linguistic Note

The word isomorphism derives from the Greek morphe (μορφή) meaning form or structure, with the prefix iso- meaning equal.

Thus isomorphism means equal structure.
