GSoC 2019 - Week 4 - Phase-I Completion
24 Jun 2019The fourth week of coding period has ended and now it’s time for phase-I evaluations. Below, is a brief progress report of the project.
The tasks that were proposed in the proposal for phase-I consists of:
- Implementation of Abelian Invariants
- Implementation of Composition Series
- Computation with Polycyclic groups
Abelian Invariants
Implemented a function to compute the abelian invariants for a given permutation or free group. These are given as a list of prime-powers and describe the stucture of G/G' as a direct product of cyclic groups of prime power order.
Composition Series
Implemented a function to compute the composition series. It provides a way to break up a group into simple pieces. Composition series of a group G is defined as the maximal subnormal series G = H_0 > H_1 > H_2 ... > H_k = 1 where every factor group H(i+1)/H(i) is simple.
Polycyclic Groups
The work on polycyclic group is in progress. For now, collection algorithm has been implemented which needs to be tested and a lot of discussions were made on the polycyclic generating sequence and its presentation and may be in a week we’ll be ready with the stucture of polycyclic groups and collection of words.
- PR link Added Polycyclic Group Class
Documentation
Some documentation is done to increase the sphinx coverage of SymPy.
