Description

• 

A permutation group G (acting on the set1,2,,n is transitive if, for any α and β, there is a permutation g in G for which αg=β. Alternatively, G is transitive if it has precisely one orbit.

• 

The IsTransitive( G ) command returns true if the permutation group G is transitive, and returns false otherwise. The group G must be an instance of a permutation group.
