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:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
