The solution-order and the problem-order on projection problems are defined. The relationships between these order relations on projection problems are studied. It is proved that a mapping between two semirings preserves the problem-order if and only if it is monotonic. It is shown that a surjective mapping between two semirings preserves the solution-order on projection problems if and only if it is a semiring homomorphism. rv:
