By an ordered semigroup we mean a semigroup with a simple order which is compatible with the semigroup operation. Several authors, for example Alimov [1], Clifford [2], Conrad [4] and Hion [7], studied the archimedean property in some special kinds of ordered semigroups. For a general ordered semigroup, Fuchs [6] defined the archimedean equivalence as follows: a ~ b if and only if one of the four conditionsholds for some positive integer n.
