pseudoscalar {clifford} | R Documentation |
Coercion from numeric to Clifford form
Description
Given a numeric value or vector, return a Clifford algebra element
Usage
pseudoscalar()
is.pseudoscalar(C)
Arguments
C |
Object possibly of class Clifford |
Details
Function pseudoscalar()
returns the unit pseudoscalar of
dimensionality option("maxdim")
and function
is.pseudoscalar()
checks for a Clifford object being a
pseudoscalar. Note that these functions require maxdim
to be set; otherwise they are meaningless.
Usually, one will set option(maxdim)
at the start of a session,
together with the signature. Then one might define I <-
pseudoscalar()
in the interests of compactness and legibility.
