Preordering: Also known as

A preordering is also known as a preorder.

Either name can be seen with a hyphen: pre-ordering and pre-order.

Some sources use the term quasiorder or quasi-order.


1964: Steven A. Gaal: Point Set Topology uses the term reflexive partial ordering, but as this can so easily be confused with the concept of a partial ordering this term is not recommended.
