25.56 MergedIgs

MergedIgs( U, S, gens, normalize )

Let U and S be ag groups with a common parent group G such that S is a subgroup of U. Let gens be a list of elements of U. Then MergedIgs returns the subgroup K of G generated by S and gens.

As gens contains only elements of U, the subgroup K is not only a subgroup of G but also of U. Its parent group is nevertheless G and MergedIgs computes a induced generating system of S with respect to G.

If normalize is true, a canonical generating system for K is computed and bound to K.cgs. If normalize is false only an induced generating system is computed and bound to K.igs or K.cgs. If no subgroup S is known, rec() can be given instead.

Note that U must be an ag group which contains S and gens.
