Description

• 

A group G is said to be trivial if it consists of only an identity element, that is, it has order equal to 1.

• 

The IsTrivial( G ) command attempts to determine whether the group G is trivial.  It returns true if G is trivial and returns false otherwise. The command may raise an exception on (most) finitely presented groups.
