Construct a symmetrized array of larger dimensions:

Let the Wolfram Language choose the minimal dimensions:

Construct a random skew-symmetric array:

Specify an arbitrary symmetry using generators:

An empty list of generators represents no symmetry:

Use generators with any root of unity:

Symmetrized arrays include properties that give information about the array:

The "Summary" property gives a brief summary of information about the array:

The "StructuredAlgorithms" property gives a list of functions that have algorithms that use the structure of the representation:

Construct an antisymmetric array:

Only the independent components are stored:

Extract any component of the array:

Construct an antisymmetric matrix:

The result contains only 15 independent components, all with different values:

The sparse and normal representations are larger:

The wedge product of those antisymmetric arrays can be computed efficiently:

The result can be presented in a shorter form through its Hodge dual:

Construct the array of all sixth-order partial derivatives of a function of four variables:

It is a depth-6 array in dimension 4, and therefore it has 4096 entries:

It is also a fully symmetric array, due to commutation of the partial derivatives:

Most entries are repeated multiple times and therefore the array is large:

The SymmetrizedArray representation stores each of the independent entries only once:

The normal form of the array can be recovered using Normal:

Construct a 4-variate distribution, using a symmetric matrix Σ:

Define a function that computes a moment of that distribution for given variable indices:

Check a particular case:

Construct the array of moments of order 6:

Moment and cumulant arrays for a multivariate distribution are fully symmetric:

Use SymmetrizedArray to compute each independent moment only once:

Both representations are equivalent:

Compare sizes:

If the same entry is specified several times, the average of those values is used:

For a nonsymmetric array, the result is a projected symmetrized part:

SymmetrizedArray offers a very compact representation of antisymmetric arrays:

SymmetrizedArray allows a compact representation of symmetric arrays:

A symmetric matrix can be represented using SymmetrizedArray or SymmetricMatrix:

The two representations are equal, but support different algorithms:

SymmetrizedArray supports tensorial operations such as D, Flatten, Inner and Outer:

SymmetricMatrix supports matrix-specific operations such as KroneckerProduct:

HermitianMatrix bears an analogous relationship to SymmetrizedArray for Hermitian matrices:

Some symmetry specifications are only compatible with the array having only vanishing entries:
