In additive notation, for a group $H$ with operation $+$ and an element $y \in H$, the subgroup generated by $y$ is the smallest subgroup of $H$ containing $y$. It consists of all integer multiples of $y$, written as $\langle y \rangle = \{\dots, -3y, -2y, -y, 0, y, 2y, 3y, \dots\}$.

Conditions: $H$ is a group with operation $+$.; $y \in H$.

Additive notation uses $+$ for the group operation and $0$ for the identity element, while multiplicative notation uses $\times$ for the operation and $1$ for the identity. These are notational conventions for abstract groups and do not require the elements to be numbers.

Conditions: Used for abstract groups.; The choice of notation changes the symbols for operation and identity but not the underlying group structure.
