<h3>Abstract</h3>
<p>The <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>4 package <strong class="pkg">Circle</strong> extends the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> functionality for computations in adjoint groups of associative rings. It provides functionality to construct circle objects that will respect the circle multiplication r * s = r + s + rs, and to compute adjoint semigroups and adjoint groups of finite rings.</p>
