Explicit algebraic expression for elements of generated subgroup with singleton generator set
Formulation 0
Let $G$ be a D22: Group such that
(i) $E \subseteq G$ is a D78: Subset of $G$
(ii) $E = \{ g \}$ is a D135: Singleton set
(iii) $\langle E \rangle$ is a D1301: Generated subgroup of $G$ with generator $E$
Then \begin{equation} \langle E \rangle = \{ g^n : n \in \mathbb{Z} \} \end{equation}
