Calling Sequence

NormalClosure( S, G )

NormalClosure( S )

Parameters

S

-

a subgroup of G or a set of elements of G

G

-

a permutation group or a Cayley table group

Description

• 

The normal closure of a subset S of a group G is the smallest normal subgroup of G containing S.

• 

The NormalClosure( G ) command constructs the normal closure of S in G.

• 

The group G must be an instance of a permutation group or a Cayley table group.

• 

If S is a subgroup of a group, then the one-argument form NormalClosure( S ) constructs the normal closure of S in the parent group Supergroup( S ).
