Generating set

Generating set may refer to

• For an algebraic object $A$, a set $S$ such that the smallest subobject of $A$ containing $S$ is $A$ itself: a set $S$ such that $A$ consists of all elements resulting from applying the algebraic operations of $A$ to combinations of elements of $S$.
  • A spanning set for a module over a ring, or a vector space;
  • The set of generators in a group presentation.
• For the special cases of free algebra:
  • Free group;
  • Free semi-group.

See also Generator of a category.

Order (disambiguation)

The term "order" has far too many meanings for an article under that title to fix on a single one. There are at least three main groups of meanings:

• Cardinality of a finite algebraic system
  • Order of a group, Lagrange theorem
  • Order of a field, finite field
• Numerical invariant of an algebraic or analytic system
  • Approximation order
  • Average order of an arithmetic function, Normal order of an arithmetic function
• A certain binary relation
  • Order on a set, Partial order, Order relation
    • Directed order
    • Discrete order
    • Hopf order = Larson order, Greither order
    • Interval order
    • Lexicographic order
    • Pointwise order
    • Total order, Totally ordered set = Linear order
    • Trivial order
