Give an example of a monoid which is not a group.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Our set of natural numbers under addition is then an example of a monoid, a structure that is not quite a group because it is missing the requirement that every element have an inverse under the operation (Which is why in elementary school 4 - 7 is not allowed.)
Positive integers with multiplication form a monoid but not a group because they have an identity, 1, but positive integers other than 1 do not have a multiplicative inverse that is an integer. A monoid in which every element has an inverse is a group.
( N , + ) , ( N , . ) are examples of a monoid which is not a group.
Given : Monoid which is not a group.
To find : The examples
Solution :
We know a groupoid (G, *) is said to be group if
I. Associative : For a , b , c ∈ G
a * ( b * c ) = ( a * b ) * c
II. Identity element : e is said to be identity element if a * e = e * a = a
III. Inverse element : b is said to be inverse element of a if a * b = b * a = e
A groupoid with associative property is called semigroup
A semigroup with identity element is called monoid
In the groupid ( N , + )
For a , b , c ∈ G
a + ( b + c ) = ( a + b ) + c
So associative property holds
0 is the identity element such that
0 + a = a + 0 = a
No element in set of natural numbers has inverse elements
Hence ( N , + ) is a monoid which is not a group
Similarly ( N , . ) is a monoid which is not a group
