Finitely generated monoids and groups #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
We define finitely generated monoids and groups. See also submodule.fg
and module.finite
for
finitely-generated modules.

Monoids and submonoids #
An additive submonoid of N
is finitely generated if it is the closure of a finite subset of
M
.

An equivalent expression of add_submonoid.fg

A monoid is finitely generated if it is finitely generated as a submonoid of itself.
Instances of this typeclass
An additive monoid is finitely generated if it is finitely generated as an additive submonoid of itself.

A subgroup is finitely generated if and only if it is finitely generated as a submonoid.
An additive subgroup is finitely generated if and only if it is finitely generated as an additive submonoid.
A group is finitely generated if it is finitely generated as a submonoid of itself.
An additive group is finitely generated if it is finitely generated as an additive submonoid of itself.
