## 31.1 Functions and Variables for Groups

Function: todd_coxeter
`todd_coxeter` (relations, subgroup)
`todd_coxeter` (relations)

  Find the order of G/H where G is the Free Group modulo relations, and H is the subgroup of G generated by subgroup. subgroup is an optional argument, defaulting to []. In doing this it produces a multiplication table for the right action of G on G/H, where the cosets are enumerated [H,Hg2,Hg3,...]. This can be seen internally in the variable `todd_coxeter_state`.

  Example:

      (%i1) symet(n):=create_list(
              if (j - i) = 1 then (p(i,j))^^3 else
                  if (not i = j) then (p(i,j))^^2 else
                      p(i,i) , j, 1, n-1, i, 1, j);
                                                             <3>
      (%o1) symet(n) := create_list(if j - i = 1 then p(i, j)

                                      <2>
       else (if not i = j then p(i, j)    else p(i, i)), j, 1, n - 1,

      i, 1, j)
      (%i2) p(i,j) := concat(x,i).concat(x,j);
      (%o2)        p(i, j) := concat(x, i) . concat(x, j)
      (%i3) symet(5);
               <2>           <3>    <2>           <2>           <3>
      (%o3) [x1   , (x1 . x2)   , x2   , (x1 . x3)   , (x2 . x3)   ,

                  <2>           <2>           <2>           <3>    <2>
                x3   , (x1 . x4)   , (x2 . x4)   , (x3 . x4)   , x4   ]
      (%i4) todd_coxeter(%o3);

      Rows tried 426
      (%o4)                          120
      (%i5) todd_coxeter(%o3,[x1]);

      Rows tried 213
      (%o5)                          60
      (%i6) todd_coxeter(%o3,[x1,x2]);

      Rows tried 71
      (%o6)                          20
