    A group whose elements are all the transformations under which a given object remains invariant and whose group operation is function composition.

    • [The] situation is more delicate in the case of higher dimensional symmetry groups; it is not in general possible to reduce the order of an equation invariant under an r-parameter symmetry group by r using only quadratures.
    • It is often assumed that the design unit inside each fundamental region (particularly for monotranslational symmetry groups p111 and p1a1 and ditranslational symmetry groups p1 and pg) is asymmetric.
