OrbitDimension( obj)

Parameters

obj

-

a LAVF object.

t

-

(optional) a string: "all", "essential", or "inessential"

Description

• 

The OrbitDimension method calculates the dimension of the orbit distribution of a LAVF object.

• 

The InvariantCount method calculates the count of scalar invariants of a LAVF object. By default (type="all"), all invariants are counted.

• 

If type="essential" is specified, then only essential invariants are counted. An invariant is essential, roughly speaking, if the group action cannot be expressed without it.

• 

Let L be a LAVF object. Then IsTransitive(L) returns true if and only if the action of L is transitive, that is, InvariantCount(L) = 0.

• 

Let L be a LAVF object and let OD be the orbit distribution of L. Then OrbitDimension(L) equals to Dimension(OD) and InvariantCount(L) equals to Codimension(OD). See Overview of the Distribution object for more detail.

• 

These methods are associated with the LAVF object. For more detail, see Overview of the LAVF object.

Compatibility

• 

The OrbitDimension, InvariantCount and IsTransitive commands were introduced in Maple 2020.
