Structure Induced on Set of All Mappings to Ordered Semigroup is Ordered Semigroup
Theorem
Let $S$ be a set.
Let $\struct {T, \odot, \preccurlyeq}$ be an ordered semigroup.
Let $\struct {T^S, \otimes, \preccurlyeq}$ denote the algebraic structure on $T^S$ induced by $\odot$.
Then $\struct {T^S, \otimes, \preccurlyeq}$ is an ordered semigroup.
Proof
From Structure Induced by Semigroup Operation is Semigroup, $\struct {T^S, \otimes}$ is a semigroup
From Ordered Set of All Mappings is Ordered Set, $\struct {T^S, \preccurlyeq}$ is an ordered set.
It remains to be demonstrated that $\preccurlyeq$ is compatible with $\odot$.
Let $f, g \in T^S$ such that $f \preccurlyeq g$.
That is:
- $\forall x \in S: \map f x \preccurlyeq \map g x$
We are given that $\struct {T, \odot, \preccurlyeq}$ be an ordered semigroup.
Hence a fortiori $\preccurlyeq$ is compatible with $\odot$.
Thus:
\(\ds \forall h \in T^S: \, \) | \(\ds \map h x \odot \map f x\) | \(\preccurlyeq\) | \(\ds \map h x \odot \map g x\) | Definition of Relation Compatible with Operation | ||||||||||
\(\, \ds \land \, \) | \(\ds \map f x \odot \map h x\) | \(\preccurlyeq\) | \(\ds \map g x \odot \map h x\) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds f \otimes h\) | \(\preccurlyeq\) | \(\ds g \otimes h\) | Definition of Pointwise Operation | ||||||||||
\(\, \ds \land \, \) | \(\ds h \otimes f\) | \(\preccurlyeq\) | \(\ds h \otimes g\) |
Hence the result.
