<p>that has an identity element, and for which every element has an inverse. </p>

<p>Thus, the inverse is a <a href="page.php?w=function_%28mathematics%29">function</a> from the group to itself that may also be considered as an operation of <a href="page.php?w=arity">arity</a> one. It is also an <a href="page.php?w=involution_%28mathematics%29">involution</a>, since the inverse of the inverse of an element is the element itself.</p>
