Talk:Strict weak ordering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However, not for every strict weak order there is a corresponding real function. For example, there is no such function for the lexicographic order on Rⁿ.

But is seems easy to derive that there is such a function for Qⁿ × R. We can add that if there is a source.--Patrick 11:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is strict the default?

…and weak order gets redirected here? How is this different from making strict partial order a main article that contains a definition of partial order as a variant of the primary topic? I propose turning things around (for weakness, not for partiality).—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 03:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
