grelgroup - represent a group by generators and relations
Calling Sequence
grelgroup(gens, rels)
Parameters
gens
-
set of names taken to be the generators of the group
rels
set of relations among the generators which define the group
Description
The function grelgroup is used as a procedure and an unevaluated procedure call. As a procedure, grelgroup checks its arguments and then either exits with an error or returns the unevaluated grelgroup call.
The first argument is a set of Maple names which stand for the generators of the group. The second argument is a set of ``words'' in the generators. A ``word'' is a list of generators and/or inverses of generators representing a product. The inverse of a generator is represented by . An empty list represents the identity element. The words w1, w2, ..., wn in rels are such that the relations define the group.
Examples
the following will give an error:
Error, (in grelgroup) relator [a, 1/c, a] contains something (1/c) not a generator or its inverse
