Equivalent Definitions
Further equivalent definitions of Dihn are:
- The automorphism group of the graph consisting only of a cycle with n vertices (if n ≥ 3).
- The group with presentation
-
- or
- From the second presentation follows that Dihn belongs to the class of Coxeter groups.
- The semidirect product of cyclic groups Zn and Z2, with Z2 acting on Zn by inversion (thus, Dihn always has a normal subgroup isomorphic to the group Zn
is isomorphic to Dihn if is the identity and is inversion.

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent and/or definitions:
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
“What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
