In [[order theory]], a branch of [[mathematics]], a '''linear extension''' of a [[partial order]] is a [[total order]] (or linear order) that is compatible with the partial order. As a classic example, the [[lexicographic order]] of totally ordered sets is a linear extension of their [[product order]].
