semigroups: An optional GAP package

Description

Installing this SPKG will install the corresponding GAP package, but before you can use them in Sage, they still have to be loaded into either the GAP interface or libgap:

sage: gap.eval('LoadPackage("semigroups")')  # optional - semigroups
'true'
sage: libgap.LoadPackage("semigroups")       # optional - semigroups
true

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> gap.eval('LoadPackage("semigroups")')  # optional - semigroups
'true'
>>> libgap.LoadPackage("semigroups")       # optional - semigroups
true

Those correspond to:

gap> LoadPackage("semigroups");

within the GAP interface and libgap, respectively.

Notes

This is a GAP package for semigroups, and monoids. There are particularly efficient methods for finitely presented semigroups and monoids, and for semigroups and monoids consisting of transformations, partial permutations, bipartitions, partitioned binary relations, subsemigroups of regular Rees 0-matrix semigroups, and matrices of various semirings including boolean matrices, matrices over finite fields, and certain tropical matrices. Semigroups contains efficient methods for creating semigroups, monoids, and inverse semigroups and monoids, calculating their Green’s structure, ideals, size, elements, group of units, small generating sets, testing membership, finding the inverses of a regular element, factorizing elements over the generators, and so on. It is possible to test if a semigroup satisfies a particular property, such as if it is regular, simple, inverse, completely regular, and a large number of further properties. There are methods for finding presentations for a semigroup, the congruences of a semigroup, the maximal subsemigroups of a finite semigroup, smaller degree partial permutation representations, and the character tables of inverse semigroups. There are functions for producing pictures of the Green’s structure of a semigroup, and for drawing graphical representations of certain types of elements.

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see upstream Issue #27330 for more information.
