GroupElementPosition

GroupElementPosition[group,g]

returns the position of the element g in the list of elements of group.

GroupElementPosition[group,{g1,…,gn}]

returns the list of positions of the elements g1,…,gn in group.

Details and Options

  • Each position is an integer between 1 and the order of the group.
  • The positions of elements in a permutation group are by default based on the standard ordering of their images.
  • The ordering of elements in a permutation group can be controlled by setting the GroupActionBase option.
