Given well-ordered sets $\alpha$ and $\beta$, define $\left(\!\!{\alpha\choose \beta}\!\!\right)$ to be the set of weakly decreasing functions from $\beta$ to $\alpha$, ordered lexicographically; this is in fact a well-ordering, so we get an operation on ordinals.
(I denote it by multichoose since for $n$, $k$ finite, $\left(\!\!{n\choose k}\!\!\right)$ is indeed $\left(\!\!{n\choose k}\!\!\right)$ in the usual sense.)
We can also order reverse-lexicographically and get a well-order; I'm calling that $\left(\!\!{\alpha\choose \beta}\!\!\right)'$. Same questions about that. (And we can restrict to strictly decreasing functions to get $\binom{\alpha}{k}$ and $\binom{\alpha}{k}'$, but obviously $k$ has to be finite for that to be interesting.)
What are these operation ordinarily called? Where could I look up more information about them?
