Interface Structure<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the elements of the mathematical structure

All Known Subinterfaces:

AbelianGroup<T>, CommutativeMonoid<T>, CommutativeSemigroup<T>, Field<T>, FiniteStructure<T>, Group<T>, GrouplikeStructure<T>, Magma<T>, Monoid<T>, OrderedField<T>, Ring<T>, RinglikeStructure<T>, Semigroup<T>, Semiring<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAbelianGroup, AbstractOrderedField, DoubleField

public interface Structure<T>

The base interface for all algebraic structures. A basic property of an mathematical structure is always a set of elements. Since there can be infinite and finite structures, it does not always make sense (or is impossible) to explicitly state the involved set.
