GroupsCore

---

The aim of this package is to standardize common assumptions on and functions for groups and monoids, i.e. to create Group/Monoid interface. Packages using it include:

• PermutationGroups.jl
• Groups.jl,
• SymbolicWedderburn.jl,

The Oscar.jl project no longer supports GroupsCore.jl interface at version 0.5.

Examples and Conformance testing

For an implemented interface please have a look at /test folder, where several example implementations are tested against the conformance test suite:

• CyclicGroup
• InfCyclicGroup

To test the conformance of a group implementation one can run

using GroupsCore
include(joinpath(pathof(GroupsCore), "..", "..", "test", "conformance_test.jl"))
include("my_fancy_group.jl") # the implementation of MyFancyGroup
let G = MyFancyGroup(...)
    test_GroupsCore_interface(G)
    # optionally if particular two group elements are to be tested:
    # g,h = rand(G, 2)
    # test_GroupsCore_interface(g, h)
    nothing
end
