Definition

A multiary quasigroup or polyadic quasigroup is a n-ary quasigroup for some n2. Note that the n=2 case corresponds to the usual notion of quasigroup.

A n-ary quasigroup is defined as a set G with a n-ary operation, i.e., a map f:GnG such that the equation f(a1,a2,,an)=b has a unique solution with any ai as the unknown and all other quantities (i.e., all the other <mah>a_j</math>s and b) known.
