Formulation 0
Let $G$ be a D22: Group such that
(i) ${\leq}$ is a D2192: Subgroup relation on $G$
(ii) $E \subseteq G$ is a D78: Subset of $G$
The generated subgroup of $G$ with generator $E$ is the D11: Set \begin{equation} \langle E \rangle : = \bigcap \{ H : E \subseteq H \leq G \} \end{equation}
