Abstract
We establish conditions when a certain type of the Riesz decomposition property (RDP) holds in the lexicographic product of two po-groups. It is well known that the resulting product is an \(\ell \)-group if and only if the first one is linearly ordered and the second one is an \(\ell \)-group. This can be equivalently studied as po-groups with a special type of the RDP. In the paper we study three different types of RDPs. RDPs of the lexicographic products are important for the study of pseudo effect algebras where infinitesimal elements play an important role both for algebras as well as for the first-order logic of valid but not provable formulas.
