A partially ordered groupoid (cf. Partially ordered set; Groupoid) in which all elements are positive (that is, a\leq ab and b\leq ab for any a,b\in H) and the larger of two elements is always divisible (on both the left and the right) by the smaller, that is, a<b implies that ax=ya=b for some x,y\in H. The positive cone of any partially ordered group (cf. Ordered group) is a naturally ordered semi-group.
