Symmetric Function

Usage

Symmetric[{s1, ..., sn}] represents the symmetry of a tensor that is symmetric in the slots si.

Basic examples

This array is symmetric: In[1]:=TensorSymmetry[{{{2, 9}, {9, 2}}, {{9, 2}, {2, 4}}}] Out[1]=Symmetric[{1, 2, 3}] Declare a rank-4 array to be symmetric in three slots: In[1]:=$Assumptions=A element Arrays[{4, 4, 4, 4}, Reals, Symmetric[{1, 2, 4}]]; Then any transposition involving those slots is equivalent to the original tensor: In[2]:=TensorTranspose[A, Cycles[{{2, 4}}]]//TensorReduce Out[2]=A
