  [33X[0;0YThis  chapter deals with domains that are closed under addition [10X+[110X, which are
  called  [13Xnear-additive  magmas[113X in [5XGAP[105X. Together with the domains closed under
  multiplication  [10X*[110X (see [14X35[114X), they are the basic algebraic structures. In many
  cases,  the  addition is commutative (see [2XIsAdditivelyCommutative[102X ([14X55.3-1[114X)),
  the  domain  is called an [13Xadditive magma[113X then. Every module (see [14X57[114X), vector
  space  (see [14X61[114X),  ring  (see [14X56[114X), or field (see [14X58[114X) is an additive magma. In
  the   cases   of  all  [13X(near-)additive  magma-with-zero[113X  or  [13X(near-)additive
  magma-with-inverses[113X, additional additive structure is present (see [14X55.1[114X).[133X

  [33X[0;0YA  [13Xnear-additive  magma[113X  in  [5XGAP[105X  is  a domain [22XA[122X with an associative but not
  necessarily commutative addition [10X+[110X[22X: A × A → A[122X.[133X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XIsNearAdditiveMagmaWithZero[102X( [3Xobj[103X ) [32X Category[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YA  [13Xnear-additive  magma-with-zero[113X  in [5XGAP[105X is a near-additive magma [22XA[122X with an
  operation [10X0*[110X (or [2XZero[102X ([14X31.10-3[114X)) that yields the zero element of [22XA[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSo a near-additive magma-with-zero [3XA[103X does always contain a unique additively
  neutral  element  [22Xz[122X,  i.e.,  [22Xz  +  a  =  a  =  a  +  z[122X  holds  for all [22Xa ∈ A[122X
  (see [2XAdditiveNeutralElement[102X  ([14X55.3-5[114X)).  This zero element [22Xz[122X can be computed
  with  the operation [2XZero[102X ([14X31.10-3[114X), by applying this function to [22XA[122X or to any
  element [22Xa[122X in [22XA[122X. The zero element can be computed also as [10X0 * [110X[22Xa[122X, for any [22Xa[122X in
  [22XA[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[13XNote[113X  that  it  may happen that a near-additive magma containing a zero does
  [13Xnot[113X lie in the category [2XIsNearAdditiveMagmaWithZero[102X (see [14X31.6[114X).[133X

  [33X[0;0YA  [13Xnear-additive  group[113X  in [5XGAP[105X is a near-additive magma-with-zero [22XA[122X with an
  operation  [10X-1*[110X[22X:  A → A[122X that maps each element [22Xa[122X of [22XA[122X to its additive inverse
  [10X-1*[110X[22Xa[122X (or [10XAdditiveInverse( [110X[3Xa[103X[10X )[110X, see [2XAdditiveInverse[102X ([14X31.10-9[114X)).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  addition  [10X+[110X of [22XA[122X is assumed to be associative, so a near-additive group
  is     not     more     than     a     [13Xnear-additive    magma-with-inverses[113X.
  [2XIsNearAdditiveMagmaWithInverses[102X  is  just a synonym for [2XIsNearAdditiveGroup[102X,
  and  can  be  used  alternatively in all function names involving the string
  [10X"NearAdditiveGroup"[110X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote   that  not  every  trivial  near-additive  magma  is  a  near-additive
  magma-with-zero,  but  every  trivial  near-additive  magma-with-zero  is  a
  near-additive group.[133X

  [33X[0;0YAn   [13Xadditive   magma-with-zero[113X   in   [5XGAP[105X  is  an  additive  magma  [22XA[122X  (see
  [2XIsAdditiveMagma[102X  ([14X55.1-4[114X)  with  an  operation  [10X0*[110X  (or [2XZero[102X ([14X31.10-3[114X)) that
  yields the zero of [22XA[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSo  an  additive  magma-with-zero  [22XA[122X does always contain a unique additively

  (see [2XAdditiveNeutralElement[102X  ([14X55.3-5[114X)).  This element [22Xz[122X can be computed with
  the  operation [2XZero[102X ([14X31.10-3[114X) as [10XZero( [110X[22XA[122X[10X )[110X, and [22Xz[122X is also equal to [10XZero( [110X[22Xa[122X[10X )[110X
  and to [10X0*[110X[22Xa[122X for each element [22Xa[122X in [22XA[122X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[13XNote[113X  that  it  may happen that an additive magma containing a zero does [13Xnot[113X

  [33X[0;0YAn  [13Xadditive group[113X in [5XGAP[105X is an additive magma-with-zero [22XA[122X with an operation
  [10X-1*[110X[22X:  A  →  A[122X that maps each element [22Xa[122X of [22XA[122X to its additive inverse [10X-1*[110X[22Xa[122X (or

  [33X[0;0YThe  addition  [10X+[110X  of  [22XA[122X  is assumed to be commutative and associative, so an
