<Chapter Label="Semigroups">
<Heading>Semigroups and Monoids</Heading>
This chapter describes functions for creating semigroups and monoids
and determining information about them.
<!-- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -->
<Section Label="Properties of Semigroups">
<Heading>Properties of Semigroups</Heading>
The following functions determine information
about semigroups.
<!-- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -->
<Section Label="Ideals of semigroups">
<Heading>Ideals of semigroups</Heading>
Ideals of semigroups are the same as ideals of the semigroup when
considered as a magma.
For documentation on ideals for magmas, see <Ref Func="Magma"/>.

<Section Label="Congruences on semigroups">
<Heading>Congruences on semigroups</Heading>
An equivalence or a congruence on a semigroup is the
equivalence or congruence on the semigroup considered as a magma.
So, to deal with equivalences and congruences on semigroups,
magma functions are used.
For documentation on equivalences and congruences on magmas,
see <Ref Func="Magma"/>.
Given a semigroup and a congruence on the semigroup, one
can construct a new semigroup: the quotient semigroup.
The following functions deal with quotient semigroups in &GAP;.
