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 $S$.
  • For the special cases of a free algebraic system on a given set of generators:
