Hello, For a project, I need to compute the minimal Hamming distance between a fixed permutation and a (large) permutation group. What is the "correct" way to do this in GAP? I am looking for the most efficient method, both for the Hamming distance computation between individual elements, as well as ways to avoid brute-force comparison with each element in the group (perhaps utilizing information about the group's structure).
Any help or pointers/references would be appreciated. I am new to GAP and have tried my best to wade through the extensive documentation. _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
