Dehornoy order is a specific ordering on the set of braids, which is primarily used in the study of braids and their algebraic properties. Named after the mathematician Patrick Dehornoy, the Dehornoy order provides a way to compare braids based on their geometric and combinatorial structure. In the context of braids, the Dehornoy order can be defined with the help of certain moves and words that represent braids.
