Python | SymPy Permutation.commutes_with() method

Permutation.commutes_with() : commutes_with() is a sympy Python library function that checks whether the two permutations are commuting. Suppose ‘a’ and ‘b’ are part of ‘C’, then the commutator of a and b is the ‘C’ identity if a and b commute, i.e. ab == ba.

Syntax : sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.commutes_with() Return : checks whether the two permutations are commuting

Code #1 : commutes_with() Example 

Python3




# Python code explaining
# SymPy.Permutation.commutes_with()
  
# importing SymPy libraries
from sympy.combinatorics.partitions import Partition
from sympy.combinatorics.permutations import Permutation
  
# Using from sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.commutes_with() method 
  
# creating Permutation
a = Permutation([2, 0, 3, 1, 5, 4])
  
b = Permutation([3, 1, 2, 5, 4, 0])
  
  
print ("Permutation a - commutes_with form : ", a.commutes_with(b))
print ("Permutation b - commutes_with form : ", b.commutes_with(a))


Output :

Permutation a – commutes_with form : False Permutation b – commutes_with form : False

Code #2 : commutes_with() Example – Self Commutator 

Python3




# Python code explaining
# SymPy.Permutation.commutes_with()
  
# importing SymPy libraries
from sympy.combinatorics.partitions import Partition
from sympy.combinatorics.permutations import Permutation
  
# Using from sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.commutes_with() method 
  
# creating Permutation
a = Permutation([[2, 4, 0], 
                 [3, 1, 2],
                 [1, 5, 6]])
  
# SELF COMMUTATING    
print ("Permutation a - commutes_with form : ", a.commutes_with(a))


Output : 

Permutation a – commutes_with form : True
