English
Let M be a monoid and x ∈ M. The submonoid generated by x consists exactly of the natural powers x^n (n ∈ ℕ). Equivalently, y ∈ closure({x}) if and only if y = x^n for some n ∈ ℕ.
Русский
Пусть M — моноид и x ∈ M. Подмоноид, порождаемый x, состоит ровно из степеней x: x^n (n ∈ ℕ). Эквивалентно: y ∈ closure({x}) тогда и только тогда, когда ∃ n ∈ ℕ, x^n = y.
