Calling Sequence

Orbit( alpha, G )

Orbits( G )

Parameters

G

-

a permutation group

alpha

-

posint; a point whose orbit is to be computed

Description

• 

The Orbit( alpha, G ) command returns the orbit of the point alpha under the action of the permutation group G.

• 

The returned value is an object that supports the following methods.

Representative( orb )

returns a representative of the orbit orb

numelems( orb )

returns the cardinality of the orbit orb

member( x, orb ) or x in orb

returns true if x belongs to the orbit orb

Elements( orb )

returns the elements of the orbit orb, as a set

• 

The Orbits( G ) command returns the set of all orbits of the permutation group G.
