Infinite descendant sequences












0












$begingroup$


"Show that the order $(A,<)$ is well ordering if and only if there no exists infinite descendant sequences in $A$".



Can you help me whit this problem, please, what happens is that my professor isn't gave us the definition of "infinite descendant sequences", so i haven't enough basis to solve this problem.



Thanks.

    A set $A$ is well ordering if all no-empty subset of $A$ have a minimum element.

    A very standard equivalent one (which is i guess the thing you have to prove) is the following : Every decreasing sequence of elements of $A$ must be finite.
