A magma M is quasitrivial if x*y = x or x*y = y, for all x and y in M.

The IsQuasitrivial command returns true if the given magma is quasitrivial. It returns false otherwise.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Magma}\right)\:$

$m≔⟨⟨⟨1\left|1\right|3⟩\,⟨2\left|2\right|3⟩\,⟨1\left|2\right|3⟩⟩⟩$

$m≔\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& 3\\ 2& 2& 3\\ 1& 2& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{IsQuasitrivial}\left(m\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

$m≔⟨⟨⟨1\left|2\right|3⟩\,⟨2\left|3\right|3⟩\,⟨3\left|1\right|2⟩⟩⟩$

$m≔\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\ 2& 3& 3\\ 3& 1& 2\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{IsQuasitrivial}\left(m\right)$

$\mathrm{false}$

The Magma[IsQuasitrivial] command was introduced in Maple 16.
