  2. Cancellation property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancellation_property

    An element a in a magma (M, ∗) has the left cancellation property (or is left-cancellative) if for all b and c in M, a ∗ b = a ∗ c always implies that b = c. An element a in a magma (M, ∗) has the right cancellation property (or is right-cancellative) if for all b and c in M, b ∗ a = c ∗ a always implies that b = c.

  3. Quasigroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasigroup

    A loop has the weak inverse property when (xy)z = e if and only if x(yz) = e. This may be stated in terms of inverses via (xy) λ x = y λ or equivalently x(yx) ρ = y ρ. A loop has the inverse property if it has both the left and right inverse properties. Inverse property loops also have the antiautomorphic and weak inverse properties.

  4. Right inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_inverse

    A right inverse in mathematics may refer to: A right inverse element with respect to a binary operation on a set A right inverse function for a mapping between sets

  5. Inverse element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_element

    In mathematics, the concept of an inverse element generalises the concepts of opposite (−x) and reciprocal (1/x) of numbers.. Given an operation denoted here ∗, and an identity element denoted e, if x ∗ y = e, one says that x is a left inverse of y, and that y is a right inverse of x.

  6. Inversion (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(discrete...

    Right inversion count , often called Lehmer code: With the place-based definition r ( i ) {\displaystyle r(i)} is the number of inversions whose smaller (left) component is i {\displaystyle i} . r ( i ) {\displaystyle r(i)} is the number of elements in π {\displaystyle \pi } smaller than π ( i ) {\displaystyle \pi (i)} after π ( i ...

  7. Converse relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_relation

    In the monoid of binary endorelations on a set (with the binary operation on relations being the composition of relations), the converse relation does not satisfy the definition of an inverse from group theory, that is, if is an arbitrary relation on , then does not equal the identity relation on in general.

  8. Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(mathematics)

    The manipulations of the Rubik's Cube form the Rubik's Cube group.. In mathematics, a group is a set with an operation that satisfies the following constraints: the operation is associative, it has an identity element, and every element of the set has an inverse element.

  9. Magma (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_(algebra)

    A magma is a set M matched with an operation • that sends any two elements a, b ∈ M to another element, a • b ∈ M. The symbol • is a general placeholder for a properly defined operation. To qualify as a magma, the set and operation (M, •) must satisfy the following requirement (known as the magma or closure property):
