 Order theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Order theory is a branch of mathematics that studies various kinds of binary relations that capture the intuitive notion of a mathematical ordering.
Orders appear everywhere - at least as far as mathematics and related areas, such as computer science, are concerned.
These are graphs where the vertices are the elements of the poset and the ordering relation is indicated by both the edges and the relative positioning of the vertices.

 Cyclic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Every cyclic group is isomorphic to the group { 0, 1, 2,..., n − 1 } under addition modulo n, or Z, the additive group of all of integers.
The Galois group of every finite field extension of a finite field is finite and cyclic; conversely, given a finite field F and a finite cyclic group G, there is a finite field extension of F whose Galois group is G.
The cycle graphs of finite cyclic groups are all n-sided polygons with the elements at the vertices.

 PlanetMath: cyclic group
Note that the isomorphisms mentioned in the previous paragraph imply that all cyclic groups of the same order are isomorphic to one another.
It follows from Lagrange's Theorem that every group of prime order is cyclic.

 Info Node: (elisp)Cyclic Window Ordering
Cyclic Ordering of Windows ========================== When you use the command `C-x o' (`other-window') to select the next window, it moves through all the windows on the screen in a specific cyclic order.
If the first split was vertical (into windows one above each other), and then the subwindows were split horizontally, then the ordering is left to right in the top of the frame, and then left to right in the next lower part of the frame, and so on.
If the first split was horizontal, the ordering is top to bottom in the left part, and so on.

 The Order of Time - Politics : welcome
Like we right away stated in the preface is each form of order in the universe in fact cyclic because the strictly linear for itself, and certainly from an organic perspective, is only destructive, like the shrapnel is and all the rest that in a linear fashion spreads after the exploding of a bomb.
So it is, as far as it concerns the cyclic order of time, the nature on this planet and not anything else, and they who see it differently are not really of this planet, are scientifically spoken not really 'with their feet on the ground'.
It was written before the writer himself was really in order with the time of the ethereal nature, but, because of that in deep thought about it, with a well-filled bookcase had made a begin with the filognostic integration in the form of meditations on the righteousness of action and the uniting of the spirit.

 Cyclic order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In combinatorial mathematics, a cyclic order on a set X with n elements is an arrangement of X as on a clock face, for an n-hour clock.
An infinite set can also be ordered cyclically.
The precise definition is more involved, but the idea is the same: arrange the (infinitely many) members of the set around a circle.

 Numbers game - 25 January 1997 - New Scientist
Cyclic numbers occur when we have a prime number, say p, and its reciprocal 1/p in decimal form is recurring with (p-1) digits.
A cyclic number is an integer of n digits with the following property: when multiplied by any number from 1 through n, the product contains the same n digits in the same cyclic order.
All cyclic numbers can be multiplied by the decimal representation of 1/p where p is a prime, however not all primes work.

 Cyclic Groups and Subgroups
Thus for a cyclic group we have the definition that all the elements may be generated from a single element together with its inverse.
The order of the subgroup must be a divisor of the order of G (Lagrange's Theorem) but since G is of prime p order the only divisors of p are 1 and p itself.
Thus the order of a cyclic subgroup and the order of its generator are the same number.

 Playing Cards
To construct a constant order card flexagon, the outer faces in the map are numbered in the order in which they are approached by the traversal of the hinge network (large numbers in fig.
Since the flexagon plan is cyclic in structure, we have no way of knowing the order of the two pats, unless we invent some way of distinguishing the two different hinges joining the two pats.
To keep in mind that it is a break in the cyclic constant order, the two leaves connected by the unfolded-together hinge can be encircled: the lowest term of the left-hand pat, and the highest term of the right-hand pat.

 Math 417 Practice Problems
Cyclic groups are abelian, so we are done if G is cyclic.
Thus there is one more element of G of order p, say x, and it cannot be a power of g.
Since the order, which is 5, of b is the least common multiple of the lengths of these cycles, we know that every cycle in the product has length 1 or 5, and at least one of them has length 5.

 THE ORDER OF TIME - INFORMATION: ABOUT THE ORDER OF TIME more.
The existence of a causal order thus is unmistakably true: first one makes love and next one sees a child born, first one sees lightning and then one hears the thunder, that suffers no doubt.
Causality thus is evidently linked, if not equal to, a cyclic order in which things give rise to each other: hydrogen and oxygen combined give water, and so, from one chemical reaction to the other, is a complexity generated in which we next find ourselves back as created, or conditioned, beings depending on circumstances.

Cycling Ordering of Windows =========================== When you use the command `C-x o' (`other-window') to select the next window, it moves through all the windows on the screen in a specific cyclic order.
But it may go down first or go right first, depending on the order in which the screen, or the windows within the screen, were split.
If the screen was first split horizontally, the ordering is top to bottom in the left part, and so on.

 TH info from binary representation of the move No.
Odd disks are always moved according to the cyclic order, even disks in the opposite order.
In move 1 (k=1), disk 1 is moved from peg 0 to peg 2, in move 3 (k=3) from peg 2 to peg 1, in move 5 (k=5) from peg 1 to peg 0, etc., always in the cyclic order.
If the disk moved in step 2 is also odd, it must be different from disk 1, and so be moved from peg that follows in the cyclic order the final peg of the move of disk 1 of step 1.

A generalization to cyclic $n$-tuples --- an $n$-tuple $(x_1,x_2,\ldots, x_n)$ for which $\langle x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n \rangle$ is cyclic --- is also established.
Since $q^k$ is the maximum order of an element of $\Z_{q^k} \oplus Z_{q^k}$, it follows that $(c,d) \in \langle (a,b)\rangle$.
Thus $\langle B \rangle$ is a cyclic subgroup of $\Z_{q^{m+1}}$ containing no elements of order $q^{m+1}$.

They are all of order 4 (but that's not what makes them isomorphic) and are cyclic groups.
For example, there are 120 bijections between two groups of order 5 (and 24 of these map the identity to the identity).
For example, the cyclic group of order 4 has two elements of order 4 whereas the Klein 4 group has no elements of order 4.

Any subgroup of a cyclic group must have order dividing the order of the cyclic group, and (a) and (b) are cyclic, so the order of (a) intersect (b) must divide both m and n.
