isReduced(RootSystem,BasicList) -- whether a decomposition in simple reflections is reduced

Synopsis

• Function: isReduced

• Usage:

  isReduced(R,L)

• Inputs:
  • R, an instance of the type RootSystem
  • L, a basic list, of indices of simple reflections
• Outputs:
  • a Boolean value, true if the length of the product of these simple reflections is indeed their number, and false if not
