&Circle; package The &GAP;4 package &Circle; extends the &GAP; functionality for computations in adjoint groups of associative rings. It provides functionality to construct circle objects that will respect the circle multiplication r \cdot s = r + s + rs , create multiplicative groups, generated by such objects, and compute groups of elements, invertible with respect to this operation, for finite radical algebras and finite associative rings without one.
