This symbol is a function of two natural numbers, the first of which should be positive. When evaluated at k and l, it denotes the cyclic monoid with a cycle of length l and a tail (including the identity element) of length k.
| [Next: maps_monoid] [Last: concatenation] [Top] |
This is a unary function whose argument must be a set X or a positive integer. When applied to X, it refers to the monoid of all functions from X to X if X is a set and to {1,...,X} if X is an integer, whose binary operation is composition of maps and whose identity element is the identity map on the set X, respectively {1,...,X}.
| [Next: left_regular_representation] [Previous: cyclic_monoid] [Top] |
This is a unary function whose argument must be a monoid M. When applied to M, it represents the map from M to the maps monoid on M that assigns to m left multiplication by m on M.
| [Next: automorphism_group] [Previous: maps_monoid] [Top] |
This is a function with a single argument which must be a monoid. It refers to the automorphism group of its argument.
| [Next: direct_product] [Previous: left_regular_representation] [Top] |
This is an n-ary function whose arguments must be monoids. It refers to the direct product of its arguments.
| [Next: direct_power] [Previous: automorphism_group] [Top] |
This is a binary function whose first argument should be a monoid M and whose second argument should be a natural number n. It refers to the direct product of n copies of M.
| [Next: free_monoid] [Previous: direct_product] [Top] |
This symbol represents a unary function. The argument is a list or a set. When evaluated on such an argument, the function represents the free monoid generated by the entries of the list or set.
| [Next: strings] [Previous: direct_power] [Top] |
This symbol represents a unary function. The argument is a list or a set. When evaluated on such an argument, the function represents the set of all strings whose characters are entries of the list or set.
| [Next: emptyword] [Previous: free_monoid] [Top] |
This symbol represents a constant. It represents the empty string.
| [Next: concatenation] [Previous: strings] [Top] |
This symbol represents a binary concatenation operation on strings.
| [First: cyclic_monoid] [Previous: emptyword] [Top] |
