Extract

A topological ordered space (or pospace) is a poset (X, <) with a topology on X for which the relation < is closed in the product X × X. The topology of X is then necessarily Hausdorff. The basic theory of pospaces was developed by Nachbin in his book [5]; and others have extended it, but the resulting body of knowledge is not very geometrical. There are few concrete examples, other than the unit interval I with its natural order, and Euclidean spaces (Rn, ≤), the Hilbert cube (H, ≤) (each with the vector order), and some function spaces.
