An additive monoid is a unital class:$$additive semigroup <sage.categories.additive_semigroups.AdditiveSemigroups>$$, that is a set endowed with a binary operation $$+$$ which is associative and admits a zero (see Wikipedia article Monoid).

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.categories.additive_monoids import AdditiveMonoids
sage: C.super_categories()
sage: sorted(C.axioms())
True


TESTS:

sage: C.Algebras(QQ).is_subcategory(AlgebrasWithBasis(QQ))
True
sage: TestSuite(C).run()


class Homsets(category, *args)

Bases: sage.categories.homsets.HomsetsCategory

TESTS:

sage: from sage.categories.covariant_functorial_construction import CovariantConstructionCategory
sage: class FooBars(CovariantConstructionCategory):
...       _functor_category = "FooBars"
sage: Category.FooBars = lambda self: FooBars.category_of(self)
sage: C = FooBars(ModulesWithBasis(ZZ))
sage: C
Category of foo bars of modules with basis over Integer Ring
sage: C.base_category()
Category of modules with basis over Integer Ring
sage: latex(C)
\mathbf{FooBars}(\mathbf{ModulesWithBasis}_{\Bold{Z}})
sage: import __main__; __main__.FooBars = FooBars # Fake FooBars being defined in a python module
sage: TestSuite(C).run()

extra_super_categories()

Implement the fact that a homset between two monoids is associative.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.categories.additive_monoids import AdditiveMonoids


Todo

This could be deduced from AdditiveSemigroups.Homsets.extra_super_categories(). See comment in Objects.SubcategoryMethods.Homsets().

sum(args)

Return the sum of the elements in args, as an element of self.

INPUT:

• args – a list (or iterable) of elements of self

EXAMPLES:

sage: S = CommutativeAdditiveMonoids().example()
sage: S.sum((a,b,a,c,a,b))
3*a + c + 2*b
sage: S.sum(())
0
sage: S.sum(()).parent() == S
True
