In <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> an ordering is a relation defined on a family, which is 
reflexive, anti-symmetric and transitive.

<li><code>IsWellFoundedOrdering( </code><var>ord</var><code> ) P</code>

returns <code>true</code> if and only if the ordering is well founded.
An ordering <var>ord</var> is well founded if it admits no infinite descending

is well founded.

An ordering <var>ord</var> is total if any two elements of the family

<h2><a name="SECT003">29.3 Orderings on families of associative words</a></h2>
<p><p>
We now consider orderings on families of associative words.
<p>
<a name = "SSEC003.1"></a>
<li><code>IsOrderingOnFamilyOfAssocWords( </code><var>ord</var><code> ) P</code>
<p>
for an ordering <var>ord</var>,
returns true if <var>ord</var> is an ordering over a family of associative
words.
<p>
Examples of families of associative words are the families of elements
of a free semigroup or a free monoid;
these are the two cases that we consider mostly.
Associated with those families is
an alphabet, which is the semigroup (resp. monoid) generating set
of the correspondent free semigroup (resp. free monoid).
For definitions of the orderings considered see Sims <a href="biblio.htm#Sims94"><cite>Sims94</cite></a>.
<p>
<a name = "SSEC003.2"></a>
<li><code>IsTranslationInvariantOrdering( </code><var>ord</var><code> ) P</code>
<p>
for an ordering <var>ord</var> on a family of associative words,
returns <code>true</code> if and only if the ordering is translation invariant.
This is a property of orderings on families of associative words.
An ordering <var>ord</var> over a family <var>fam</var>, with alphabet <var>X</var> is
translation invariant if
<code>IsLessThanUnder(</code><var>ord</var><code>, </code><var>u</var><code>, </code><var>v</var><code>)</code> implies that for any <i>a</i>,<i>b</i> &#8712; <i>X</i><sup>*</sup>
<code>IsLessThanUnder(</code><var>ord</var><code>, <i>a</i>*<i>u</i>*<i>b</i>, <i>a</i>*<i>v</i>*<i>b</i>)</code>.
<p>
<a name = "SSEC003.3"></a>
<li><code>IsReductionOrdering( </code><var>ord</var><code> ) P</code>
<p>
for an ordering <var>ord</var> on a family of associative words,
returns <code>true</code> if and only if the ordering is a reduction ordering.
An ordering <var>ord</var> is a reduction ordering 
if it is founded and translation invariant.
<p>
<a name = "SSEC003.4"></a>
<li><code>OrderingOnGenerators( </code><var>ord</var><code> ) A</code>
<p>
for an ordering <var>ord</var> on a family of associative words,
returns a list <var>alphabet</var> in which the generators are considered.
This could be indeed the ordering of the generators in the ordering,
but, for example, if a weight is associated to each generator
then this is not true anymore. See the example for <code>WeightLexOrdering</code>
(<a href="CHAP029.htm#SSEC003.8">WeightLexOrdering</a>).
