a group
A group is cyclic if it can be generated by a single element.
The IsCyclic( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is cyclic. It returns true if G is cyclic and returns false otherwise. The command may return FAIL on (most) finitely presented groups.
The GroupTheory[IsCyclic] command was introduced in Maple 2015.
