Definition

Let $\RR$ be a relation on a set $S$.


$\RR$ is a strict ordering on $S$ if and only if $\RR$ satisfies the axioms:

\((1)\)   $:$   Antireflexivity      \(\ds \forall a \in S:\) \(\ds \neg \paren {a \mathrel \RR a} \)      
\((2)\)   $:$   Transitivity      \(\ds \forall a, b, c \in S:\) \(\ds \paren {a \mathrel \RR b} \land \paren {b \mathrel \RR c} \implies a \mathrel \RR c \)      

These criteria are called the strict ordering axioms.
