     This leads to the introduction of new kinds of abstract spaces—partially ordered linear spaces—and to their systematic use in functional analysis. The beginnings of a theory of partially ordered linear spaces are given in the works of L. V. Kantorovič in 1935-1937.

   • 1966, S. J. Taylor, Introduction to Measure and Integration, Cambridge University Press, page 22,

     The chains in ${\mathcal {V}}$ form a class ${\mathcal {C}}$ which is partially ordered by inclusion.

     In this paper we will show that partially ordered monads contain appropriate structure for modeling rough sets in a generalized relational setting.
