I am writing this code in sage online worksheet given a tuple say a=(a1,a2,...an) \phi be an permutation in S_n then \phi(a)= (a_\phi(1),...,a_\phi(n)) I want to count the number of permutation that fixes a The code is as follows
def Aut(tuple): c=1 for a in SymmetricGroup(len(tuple)): if a.action(tuple)== tuple : c=c+1
There is no method action for elements of the symmetric group. You should write a(tuple) instead of a.action(tuple). And by the way, your function does not return anything, and I think c should be initialized to 0. Maybe:
def Aut(tuple):
c = 0
for a in SymmetricGroup(len(tuple)):
if a(tuple) == tuple:
c = c+1
return cAsked: 9 years ago
