Description

• 

A group  is elementary if it is a finite Abelian group with prime exponent. Equivalently,  is elementary if it is a direct sum (product) of groups each of order equal to a fixed prime .

• 

The IsElementary( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is elementary.  It returns true if G is elementary and returns false otherwise.

• 

The group G must be an instance of a permutation group, a Cayley table group or a finite, finitely presented group.
