> | ### D.5.10 orbitparam_lib Library: orbitparam.lib Purpose: Parametrizing orbits of unipotent actions Authors: J. Boehm, boehm at mathematik.uni-kl.de S. Papadakis, papadak at math.ist.utl.pt Overview: This library implements the theorem of Chevalley-Rosenlicht as stated in Theorem 3.1.4 of [Corwin, Greenleaf]. Given a set of strictly upper triangular n x n matrices L_1,...,L_c which generate a Lie algebra as a vector space, and a vector v of size n, the function `parametrizeOrbit` constructs a parametrization of the orbit of v under the action of exp(<L_1,...,L_c>). To compute exp of the Lie algebra elements corresponding to the parameters we require that the characteristic of the base field is zero or larger than n. By determining the parameters from bottom to top this allows you to find an element in the orbit with (at least) as many zeros as the dimension of the orbit. Note: Theorem 3.1.4 of [Corwin, Greenleaf] uses strictly lower triangular matrices. References: Laurence Corwin, Frederick P.
