In mathematics, a monomial order is a total order on the set of all (monic) monomials in a given polynomial ring, satisfying the following two properties:
- If u < v and w is any other monomial, then uw
. In other words, the ordering respects multiplication. - The ordering is a well ordering (every non-empty set of monomials has a minimal element).
Among the powers of any one variable x, the only ordering satisfying these conditions is the natural ordering 1<x
Monomial orderings are most commonly used with Gröbner bases and multivariate division.

Famous quotes containing the word order:
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, if you must shoot, shoot straight up!”
