In mathematics, particularly abstract algebra, a binary operation • on a set is flexible if it satisfies the flexible identity: a ∙ ( b ∙ a ) = ( a ∙ b ) ∙ a {\displaystyle a\bullet \left(b\bullet a\right)=\left(a\bullet b\right)\bullet a} for any two elements a and b of the set. A magma (that is, a set equipped with a binary operation) is flexible if the binary operation with which it is equipped is flexible.
