Let \(a\) and \(b\) be elements of an ordered semigroup \(S\). If either \(a\) or \(b\) is zero, then they commute.
+We begin with the case that \(a\) and \(b\) are positive. If \(a + b {\lt} b + a\), then for all \(n\in \mathbb {N}^+\), we have that
+And so \(a+b\) and \(b+a\) form an anomalous pair.
+The same for the case that \(b + a {\lt} a + b\). Therefore, we must have that \(a+b = b+a\).
+The case where \(a\) and \(b\) are negative follows similarly.
+We now look at the case where \(a\) is negative and \(b\) is positive. If the element \(0\) exists and \(a+b = 0\), then \(a + b + a = a\) and so \(b+a = 0\). Therefore, \(a\) and \(b\) commute.
+If \(a + b\) is positive, then
+We already showed that positive elements commute and so
+Now we look at the case where \(a+b {\lt} b+a\). Then we have that
+Which is a contradiction. We get a similar contradiction in the case that \(b+a {\lt} a+b\). Therefore, \(a+b = b+a\).
+The case where \(a+b\) is negative follows similarly. The case where \(b\) is negative and \(a\) is positive is symmetric.
