[edit] Types of preorders

Is there a commonly-used name for a complete preorder (sequence A000670 in OEIS) within set theory? (Not a total order, mind you -- it need not be antisymmetric.) I've heard the term "weak order", but that's from the same field that uses "linear order" for total orders, so I wanted some clarification if anyone knows of something else.

Total preorders, of course. Thanks, Hurkyl! CRGreathouse (t | c) 04:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
