Data.Group.Cyclic

Description

This module contains definitions for Cyclic groups, along with the relevant combinators.

Synopsis

Cyclic groups

Cyclic is a Group that is generated by a single element. This element is called a generator of the group. There can be many generators for a group, e.g., any representative of an equivalence class of prime numbers of the integers modulo n, but to make things easy, we ask for only one generator.

class Group a => Cyclic a where #

A Group G is Cyclic if there exists an element x of G such that for all y in G, there exists an n, such that

y = pow x n

Methods

generator :: a #

The generator of the Cyclic group.

Combinators

classify :: (Eq a, Cyclic a) => (a -> Bool) -> [a] Source #

Classify elements of a Cyclic group.

Apply a classifying function a -> Bool to the elements of a Cyclic group as generated by its designated generator.

Examples:

>>> take 3 $ classify (< (3 :: Sum Word8))
[Sum {getSum = 1},Sum {getSum = 2}]

generated :: Cyclic a => [a] #

Generate all elements of a Cyclic group using its generator.

Note: Fuses, does not terminate even for finite groups.
