A monoid object in the category of monoids (with the direct product of monoids) is just a commutative monoid. This follows easily from the Eckmann–Hilton argument. A monoid object in the category of complete join-semilattices Sup (with the monoidal structure induced by the Cartesian product) is a unital quantale.
Any category with finite products can be regarded as monoidal with the product as the monoidal product and the terminal object as the unit. Such a category is sometimes called a cartesian monoidal category. For example: Set, the category of sets with the Cartesian product, any particular one-element set serving as the unit.
The monoids from AND and OR are also idempotent while those from XOR and XNOR are not. The set of natural numbers N = {0, 1, 2, ...} is a commutative monoid under addition (identity element 0) or multiplication (identity element 1). A submonoid of N under addition is called a numerical monoid.
In graph theory, a graph product is a binary operation on graphs. Specifically, it is an operation that takes two graphs G 1 and G 2 and produces a graph H with the following properties: The vertex set of H is the Cartesian product V ( G 1 ) × V ( G 2 ) , where V ( G 1 ) and V ( G 2 ) are the vertex sets of G 1 and G 2 , respectively.
The zero ring consisting only of a single element 0 = 1 is a terminal object. In Rig, the category of rigs with unity and unity-preserving morphisms, the rig of natural numbers N is an initial object. The zero rig, which is the zero ring, consisting only of a single element 0 = 1 is a terminal object.
commutes and such that (P, i 1, i 2) is universal with respect to this diagram. That is, for any other such triple (Q, j 1, j 2) for which the following diagram commutes, there must exist a unique u : P → Q also making the diagram commute: As with all universal constructions, the pushout, if it exists, is unique up to a unique isomorphism.
Let denote the free monoid on a set of generators , that is, the set of all strings written in the alphabet .The asterisk is a standard notation for the Kleene star.An independency relation on the alphabet then induces a symmetric binary relation on the set of strings : two strings , are related, , if and only if there exist ,, and a pair (,) such that = and =.
A binary relation between monoids M and N is a rational relation if the graph of the relation, regarded as a subset of M×N is a rational set in the product monoid. A function from M to N is a rational function if the graph of the function is a rational set. [4]
