It seems to me that the ambiguity arises from the original statement, "the
orbit (1,2) under G", not the fact that the domain is non-homogeneous. It's
less ambiguous to say directly G.{1, 2} (the orbit of the _element_ {1, 2})
versus G.1 \union G.2 (the orbit of the subset {1, 2}). Then, which group
action you are talking about is clear.For the API, it seems best (to me) to have the standard orbit function (which takes an element of the domain and returns its orbit) and add to that an optional parameter which changes the semantics to orbits of sets. The user would have to supply a subset of the domain then, instead of an element or you'd raise a TypeError. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
