Theorem

Let $\struct {A_1, \preceq_1}$ be an ordered set.

Let $\phi: A_1 \to A_2$ be a bijection.

Let:

$\preceq_2 \mathop{:=} \set {\tuple {\map \phi x, \map \phi y}: x \in A_1 \land y \in A_1 \land x \mathop{\preceq_1} y}$


Then $\phi: \struct {A_1, \preceq_1} \to \struct {A_2, \preceq_2}$ is an order isomorphism.


Proof

Take any $x, y \in A_1$ such that $x \preceq_1 y$.

Since $x, y \in A_1$, it follows by the definition of a mapping that:

$\map \phi x, \map \phi y \in A_2$


So $x \in A_1$ and $y \in A_1$ and $x \preceq_1 y$.

It follows from the definition of $\preceq_2$ that:

$\map \phi x \preceq_2 \map \phi y$


Conversely, suppose that:

$\map \phi x \preceq_2 \map \phi y$

By the definition of $\preceq_2$, it follows that:

$x \preceq_1 y$


Therefore, the biconditional holds:

$x \preceq_1 y \iff \map \phi x \preceq_2 \map \phi y$


By definition, it follows that:

$\phi: \struct {A_1, \preceq_1} \to \struct {A_2, \preceq_2}$

is an order isomorphism.
