1. Internal Composition Laws

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Internal composition law : an application φ:E×E→E\varphi:E\times E\to E that maps every pair (a,b)(a,b) to an element denoted a∗ba*b in E.

Essential Points

  • Addition and multiplication are internal composition laws on ℕ, and intersection and union are internal composition laws on 𝒫(ℕ).

  • For functions from E to E, composition is an internal composition law because composing two functions E→E produces another function E→E.

Memory Hook

Internal means the result stays in E; external operations can leave E.

What is an internal composition law on a set E?

It is an application φ:E×E→E\varphi:E\times E\to E mapping pairs to elements in E.

Which operations are internal composition laws on ℕ?

Addition and multiplication are internal composition laws on ℕ.

Which operations are internal composition laws on 𝒫(ℕ)?

Intersection and union are internal composition laws on 𝒫(ℕ).

Why is composition of functions from E to E an internal composition law?

Because composing two functions E→E produces another function E→E.

When is an internal law * commutative?

When a∗b=b∗aa*b=b*a for every pair (a,b)(a,b) in E2E^2.

When is an internal law * associative?

When (a∗b)∗c=a∗(b∗c)(a*b)*c=a*(b*c) for every triple (a,b,c)(a,b,c) in E3E^3.
