LieElement ++ LieElement -- formal addition of Lie elements

Synopsis

Operator: ++

Description

Formal addition of Lie elements. See the documentation of the formal Lie multiplication for more information.

i1 : L = lieAlgebra{a,b}

o1 = L

o1 : LieAlgebra

i2 : a@b++b@a

o2 = (a b) + (b a)

o2 : L
