The IsDistributive command returns true if the given magma satisfies the  left and right distributive laws X(YZ) = (XY)(XZ) and (XY)Z = (XZ)(YZ). It returns false otherwise.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Magma}\right)\:$

$m≔⟨⟨⟨1\left|1\right|1⟩\,⟨1\left|2\right|2⟩\,⟨1\left|3\right|3⟩⟩⟩$

$m≔\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& 1\\ 1& 2& 2\\ 1& 3& 3\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{IsDistributive}\left(m\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

$m≔⟨⟨⟨1\left|2\right|3⟩\,⟨2\left|3\right|3⟩\,⟨3\left|1\right|2⟩⟩⟩$

$m≔\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\ 2& 3& 3\\ 3& 1& 2\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{IsDistributive}\left(m\right)$

$\mathrm{false}$

The Magma[IsDistributive] command was introduced in Maple 15.
