Abstract

Lipschitz monoids (or semi-groups) have been investigated since 1975, and have received more attention when more general Vahlen matrices were taken into consideration. Yet few people know the extent and the effectiveness of the already available theory about Lipschitz monoids. The present survey intends to let more people become acquainted with them.
