Holder's Theorem for Semigroups #

This file containes the proof of Holder's theorem for semigroups and some variants of it.

If α is a linear ordered cancel semigroup that does not have anomalous pairs, then α is monoid order isomorphic to a subsemigroup of .

If α is a linear ordered cancel semigroup that has large differences, then α is monoid order isomorphic to a subsemigroup of .

If α is a linear ordered cancel semigroup where all elements are nonnegative or all are nonpositive, α is archimedean, and it has differences (i.e. if x < y then there exists z such that x*z = y), then α is monoid order isomoprhic to a subsemigroup of .
