monoid

Monoid

Mathematically a Monoid is a Semigroup M along with an identity element u, that is (∃u ∈ M) => (∀m ∈ M)(u*m = m*u = m).

When such an identity element u exists, it is necessarily unique.

Important

Contract: Monoid initializer parameters must have

  • mult closed and associative on reps

  • one an identity on reps, rep*one == rep == one*rep

class boring_math.abstract_algebra.algebras.monoid.Monoid

Bases: Semigroup, Generic

Parameters:
  • mult – Associative function H X H -> H on representations.

  • one – Representation for multiplicative identity.

  • narrow – Narrow the rep type, many-to-one function. Like choosing an element from a coset of a group.

__init__(mult: Callable[[H, H], H], one: H, narrow: Callable[[H], H] | None = None)
Parameters:
  • mult – Associative function H X H -> H on representations.

  • one – Representation for multiplicative identity.

  • narrow – Narrow the rep type, many-to-one function. Like choosing an element from a coset of a group.

__call__(rep: H) MonoidElement

Add the unique element to the monoid with a with the given, perhaps narrowed, rep.

Parameters:

rep – Representation to add if not already present.

Returns:

The unique element with that representation.

__eq__(right: object) bool

Compare if two algebras are the same concrete algebra.

Parameters:

right – Object being compared to.

Returns:

True only if right is the same concrete algebra. False otherwise.

narrow_rep_type(rep: H) H

Narrow the type with a concrete algebra’s many-to-one type “narrowing” function.

Parameters:

rep – Hashable value of type H.

Returns:

The narrowed representation.

class boring_math.abstract_algebra.algebras.monoid.MonoidElement

Bases: SemigroupElement, Generic

__init__(rep: H, algebra: Monoid[H]) None
__str__() str
Returns:

str(self) = MonoidElement<rep>

__pow__(n: int) Self

Raise the element to power to the power of n>=0.

Parameters:

n – The int power to raise the element to.

Returns:

The element (or its inverse) raised to the integer n power.

Raises:
  • TypeError – If self and other are different types.

  • ValueError – If self and other are same type but different concrete groups.

  • ValueError – If algebra fails to have an identity element.

__call__() H

Warning

A trade off is being made in favor of efficiency over encapsulation. An actual reference to the wrapped rep is returned to eliminate the overhead of a copy.

Returns:

The narrowed representation wrapped within the element.

__eq__(right: object) bool

Compares if two elements, not necessarily in the same concrete algebra, contain equal representations of the same hashable type.

Warning

Any sort of difference in rep narrowing is not taken into consideration.

Parameters:

right – Object to be compared with.

Returns:

True if both are elements and the reps compare as equal and are of the same invariant type.

__mul__(right: object) Self

Multiply two elements of the same concrete algebra together.

Parameters:

right – An element within the same concrete algebra or a right action.

Returns:

The product self * right otherwise NotImplemented.

Raises:

ValueError – If self and right are same type but different concrete algebras.

__rmul__(left: object) Self

When left side of multiplication does not know how to multiply right side.

Parameters:

left – Left side of the multiplication.

Returns:

Never returns, otherwise left.__mul__(right) would have worked.

Raises:

TypeError – When multiplying on left by an int.
