Hello GAP forum, I want to work with the Polycyclic package so I've installed and successfully tested GAP, KASH and the Alnuth package in Ubuntu (if you recall, I asked for help with installation a few days before in a Windows environment but have since decided it might be faster to go with Linux). Now I'm trying to check if my Polycyclic package is working well. I can LoadPackage, I can also try a few simple command like:
DihedralPcpGroup(4); Pcp-group with orders [ 2, 2 ] DihedralPcpGroup(8); Pcp-group with orders [ 2, 4 ] But I don't know enough about Polycyclic groups to do more comprehensive test. Is there a test somewhere that I can run to make sure that my installation is correct? Another question I have is the two built-in functions ExampleOfMetabelianPcpGroup(a, k) and ExamplesOfSomePcpGroups(n). The manual is not very clear on what they do so I'm not sure if what I get is right. I would also want to see example of Pcp presentations of some polycyclic groups and thought these two would be perfect, but again, I first need to verify that they are working correctly. Here are a few things I tried: ExamplesOfSomePcpGroups(3); Pcp-group with orders [ 0, 0 ] ExamplesOfSomePcpGroups(5); Pcp-group with orders [ 2, 0, 0, 0 ] ExamplesOfSomePcpGroups(6); Pcp-group with orders [ 0, 0, 0 ] ExampleOfMetabelianPcpGroup(2,4); Pcp-group with orders [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ] ExampleOfMetabelianPcpGroup(2,5); Pcp-group with orders [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ] ExampleOfMetabelianPcpGroup(5,4); Pcp-group with orders [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ] ExampleOfMetabelianPcpGroup(5,3); Pcp-group with orders [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ] As you can see, all I get is zeroes, is this correct? Thank you for reading, Ha T. Lam _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
