NAME

6       zmw - make word from a set of matrices
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zmw [OPTIONS] <No> <Gen1> <Gen2> [<Word> [<Nsp>]]
10       zmw [OPTIONS] -g <NGen> <No> <Gen> [<Word> [<Nsp>]]

DESCRIPTION

13       Zmw  calculates  an element of the algebra generated by a set of matri‐
14       ces.  The word must be specified by its "word number".
15
16       The first form of the zmw command assumes that there  are  two  genera‐
17       tors,  and the generators must be given as two files names.  The second
18       form uses the -g option to specify the number of generators.   In  this
19       case,  a base name is given on the command line, and the generator file
20       names are constructed by appending ".1", ".2", ... to the base name.
21
22       The word is written to Word, if present.  If Nsp is present, the kernel
23       of the word is calculated and written to this file.
24
25       No may be a single number, or a range of numbers in the form "a-b".  In
26       this case the nullities of all words are calculated and printed, but no
27       output file is written, even if Word and Nsp are present.
28
29       Zmw can insert the words into a polynomial before calculating the null-
30       space.  To use this feature, the polynomial must  be  appended  to  the
31       word  number,  separated  by  a  "/".  After the "/", all coefficients,
32       including zeroes, of the polynomial must be specified as a  comma-sepa‐
33       rated list.  For example,
34
35         zmw 103/1,1,0,-1 gen1 gen2
36
37       calculates  word number 103, and inserts the result into the polynomial
38       x^3+x^2-1.
