Semigroup Construction on Polygonal Numbers

Abstract

In this paper, some information about polygonal numbers are given. Also, a general binary operator that includes all polygonal numbers are given and it is investigated whether the algebraic structures defined with the general operator specify a semigroup or not.

Keywords

• Polygonal numbers
• binary operation
• semigroup
• monoid
