hii, I am using GAP for the very first time and facing problem in computing the generating set for the Special Linear Groups : SL(n,q) , defined over the finite fields.
I have to find the generating set for the Special Linear group with given values of 'n' and 'q'. I was to able to do this for SL(2,13) by using g:=SL(2,13); GeneratorsSmallest(g); but when i made use of MinimalGeneratingSet(g); it showed an error : Error, no method found! For debugging hints type ?Recovery from NoMethodFound Error, no 2nd choice method found for `IndependentGeneratorsOfAbelianGroup' o n 1 arguments called from IndependentGeneratorsOfAbelianGroup( G ) called from <function>( <arguments> ) called from read-eval-loop Entering break read-eval-print loop ... you can 'quit;' to quit to outer loop, or you can 'return;' to continue and on using SmallGeneratingSet(g); it showed the following error : Variable : <debug-variable-1024-2> must have a value Can anyone please help out with the Minimal Generating Set thing and how to remove the error. Thanking you, Piyush garg. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
