This paper studies Artin's braid monoids using combinatorial methods. More precisely, we investigate the linear ordering defined by Dehomoy. Laver has proved that the restriction of this ordering to positive braids is a wellordering. In order to study this order, we develop a natural wellordering <
A new presentation of the n-string braid group B n is studied. Using it, a new solution to the word problem in B n is obtained which retains most of the desirable features of the Garside Thurston solution, and at the same time makes possible certain computational improvements. We also give a related
