Description
Every cyclic group is generated by a single element a. If n is finite the group is isomorphic to Z/nZ, otherwise it can be interpreted as Z with the addition of integers as the group operation. For every cyclic group there only exists one subgroup containing a, the group itself.
C(n) = <a | a^{n} = 1>

Computation
/*Use the ApCoCoA package ncpoly.*/
// Number of cyclic group
MEMORY.N:=5;
Use ZZ/(2)[a];
NC.SetOrdering("LLEX");
Define CreateRelationsCyclic()
Relations:=[];
// Add relation a^n = 1
Append(Relations,[[a^MEMORY.N],[1]]);
Return Relations;
EndDefine;
Relations:=CreateRelationsCyclic();
Relations;
// Compute a Groebner Basis.
Gb:=NC.GB(Relations);
Gb;
// RESULT for MEMORY.N = 5 :: [[[a^5], [1]]]
