Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
Consider a set of n elements α1, … , αn (denoted by S) and the set of all possible multiplication tables on these elements. The total number of such tables is clearly and each table can be represented by a square matrix [μij] where μij is the product αiαj (μij ∈ S, i = 1, … , n; j = 1, … , n). The triple (αi, αj, αk) is said to be associative if the following equation is satisfied:
