Medial
This article is about medial in mathematics. For other uses, see
medial (disambiguation). In
abstract algebra, a medial
magma (or medial groupoid) is a set with a
binary operation which satisfies the
identity, or more simply, using the convention that juxtaposition has higher precedence. This identity has been variously called medial, abelian, alternation, transposition, bi-commutative, bisymmetric, surcommutative, entropic, etc.Any
commutative semigroup is a medial magma, and a medial magma has an
identity element if and only if it is a commutative
monoid. An elementary example of a nonassociative medial
quasigroup can be constructed as follows: take an
abelian group (written additively) and define a new operation by x * y = (− x) + (− y).
