Are two permutations conjugate?

Returns TRUE if two permutations are conjugate and FALSE otherwise.

Usage
are_conjugate(x, y)
are_conjugate_single(a,b)
Arguments
x,y,a,b

Objects of class permutation, coerced to cycle form

Details

Two permutations are conjugate if and only if they have the same shape. Function are_conjugate() is vectorized and user-friendly; function are_conjugate_single() is lower-level and operates only on length-one permutations.

The reason that are_conjugate_single() is a separate function and not bundled inside are_conjugate() is that dealing with the identity permutation is a pain in the arse.

Value

Returns a vector of Booleans

Note

The functionality detects conjugateness by comparing the shapes of two permutations; permutations are coerced to cycle form because function shape() does.
