group(deprecated)

 isnormal
 determine whether a subgroup is normal

 Calling Sequence isnormal(subgrl) isnormal(pg, sg)

Parameters

 subgrl - subgrel pg, sg - two permgroups of the same degree

Description

 • Important: The group package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command GroupTheory[IsNormal] instead.
 • With two arguments, this function determines whether sg is a normal subgroup of the permutation group generated by the union of sg and pg.  If it is, then true is returned; otherwise false is returned.
 • With one argument, this function tests whether subgrl is a normal subgroup.  The function returns true or false.
 • The command with(group,isnormal) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
