This paper is concerned mainly with the structure of inverse semigroups which have a partial ordering defined on them in addition to their natural partial ordering. However, we include some results on partially ordered semigroups which are of interest in themselves. Some recent information [1, 2, 6, 7,11] has been obtained about the algebraic structure of partially ordered semigroups, and we add here to the list by showing in Section 1 that every regular integrally closed semigroup is an inverse semigroup. In fact it is a proper inverse semigroup [10], that is, one in which the idempotents form a complete class modulo the minimum group congruence, and the structure of these semigroups is explicitly known [5].
