isMember(LieElement,LieSubSpace) -- whether a Lie element belongs to a Lie subspace

Synopsis

• Function: isMember

• Usage:

  b=member(x,S)

• Inputs:
  • x, an instance of the type LieElement,
  • S, an instance of the type LieSubSpace, an instance of type LieSubSpace
• Outputs:
  • b, a Boolean value, true if $x$ belongs to $S$ and false otherwise
