  PlanetMath: quasicyclic group
In particular, this means that the subgroups are linearly ordered by inclusion, and all subgroups are fully invariant.
The quasicyclic groups are the only infinite groups with a linearly ordered subgroup lattice.
This is version 16 of quasicyclic group, born on 2005-11-25, modified 2006-03-23.

  Ordered group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, an ordered group is a group G equipped with a partial order "≤" which is translation-invariant; in other words, "≤" has the property that, for all a, b, and g in G, if a ≤ b then ag ≤ bg and ga ≤ gb.
If G and H are two ordered groups, a map from G to H is a morphism of ordered groups if it is both a group homomorphism and a monotonic function.
Ordered groups are used in the definition of valuations of fields.

A totally ordered set (or linearly ordered set) is a poset
A totally ordered set is also sometimes called a chain, especially when it is considered as a subset of some other poset.

 Stein Research Page 5
Monodisperse spheres (polystyrene, poly(methylmethacrylate), silica) are close-packed iinto ordered arrays and infiltrated with a fluid which is solidified.
After removal of the template, a solid skeleton is obtained around an ordered array of voids where the original spheres were located.
The stop band position varies nearly linearly with refractive index of the penetrating fluid, and can be altered by adjusting the pore spacing, and the thickness, density, and composition of the walls—all parameters that we can control through chemistry.

 Chapter 2
Second order cybernetics are sets of rule modification transforms relative to a specific class of situations, and relative to a set of consistent axioms with complete deductive span.
A second order system is open in a way that is defined by what we have called, in Chapter 10, "semiotically open sets", ie, open via changes made through an interface between the first order system and a human decision maker or perhaps an complex computing device.
The second order system must be assumed to be stable over the period under discussion, or else the temporal scale is not properly defined by the first order rates of change.

 Parsing using linearly ordered phonological rules
Since the depth of ordering in a linguistically motivated description can easily approach 15-20, with many of the rules involved being many-ways ambiguous when regarded from the "wrong end," the approach of simply undoing the effects of the rules was soon seen to be quite impractical.
However, with linearly ordered rules the number of adjacent consonants could in principle be increased by the application of certain rules preceding the deletion rule, including rules epenthesizing consonants, rules deleting vowels, and rules changing vowels into consonants.
In most cases the linearly ordered rules were simpler than the two-level rules, in part because rule ordering rendered redundant some of the constraints necessitated by the two-level formalism.

 ABSTRACTS DROSTE
The cofinality of a group G is the cardinality of the length of a shortest chain of proper subgroups terminating at G.
Using combinatorial methods, we prove that in each of these lattices the partially ordered subset of all those elements which are finitely generated as normal subgroups is a lattice in which infima and suprema of subsets of cardinality $\leq\aleph$, always exist; two infinite distributive identities are also shown to hold.
In the classes of infinite symmetric groups, their normal subgroups, and their factor groups, we determine those groups which are equivalent in the sense that they may not be distinguished by the solvability of a system of finitely many equations in variables and parameters.

 Encyclopedia: Archimedes
After a number of experiments, whereby the hosts of the program tried burning a model wooden ship with a variety of mirrors, they concluded that the enemy ships would have had to have been virtually motionless and very close to shore for them to ignite, an unlikely scenario during a battle.
A group at MIT subsequently performed their own tests and concluded that the mirror weapon was a possibility [2], although later tests of their system showed it to be ineffective in conditions that more closely matched the described siege [3].

 The Solar Wind Coupling and Geomagnetic Activity Group
The group utilizes data acquired by past and present space missions as well as ground observatories to establish the morphology of these phenomena and to identify the physical processes that cause them.
The group is also concerned with practical applications of these studies to the fields of scientific data management, geophysical exploration, and space weather forecasting.
McPherron's group was one of the first to recognize that techniques such as linear prediction filtering could be used to encapsulate the behavior of the magnetosphere for prediction of activity measures, and that these encapsulations could be used to study the physical properties of the solar wind-magnetosphere system.

In mathematics (particularly abstract algebra), the Archimedean property is a property held by some ordered algebraic structures, and in particular by the ordered field of real numbers.
In particular, a linearly ordered group that is Archimedean is an Archimedean group, and an ordered field that is Archimedean is an Archimedean field.

 Concurrency Abstracts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In models of concurrent processes constraints on the order of events are often represented by partial orders, and schedules of events are then defined using an algebra of standard operations such as sequential and parallel composition.
Partial orders are the simple case of a monoid whose two elements represent the presence or absence of a constraint.
The heart of the approach is a notion of partial string derived from the view of a string as a linearly ordered multiset by relaxing the linearity constraint, thereby permitting partially ordered multisets or pomsets.
