Rotation functions between Patterson functions can be calculated and analyzed more efficiently when it is possible to consider only a unique or asymmetric region of rotation space. Previous authors have succeeded in characterizing the symmetries and asymmetric units of rotation functions between Patterson functions whose symmetries are less than cubic. Here we describe a simple and general solution that applies to rotation functions between Patterson functions of any symmetry, including cubic. The method relies on partitioning rotation space into Dirichlet domains.
当仅考虑旋转空间的唯一或不对称区域时,帕特森函数之间的旋转函数可以更有效地进行计算和分析。先前的作者已成功表征了对称性低于立方的帕特森函数之间旋转函数的对称性和不对称单元。在此,我们描述了一种简单且通用的解决方案,它适用于任何对称性(包括立方对称性)的帕特森函数之间的旋转函数。该方法依赖于将旋转空间划分为狄利克雷域。
