[GAP Forum] GAP permutation question

Sorry, I thought that a permutation on the coordinates of the vectors
that makes L1=L2 equal as sets was sought. Otherwise it is indeed next
to trivial.

Dear all, dear David,

When L1, L2 are 0-1 matrices, one can use the package GRAPE to construct
(bipartite) graphs from them, and test them for isomorphism (such a
test, if successful, returns an isomorphism, too)

As GRAPE does not work with edge-coloured graphs, for more general
matrices this won't work, at least not out of the box.
One can think of constructing edge-coloured bipartite graphs, then their
vertex-coloured line graphs, and test the latter for the isomorphism.
(GRAPE can deal with vertex colourings).

One can probably use the general GAP backtracking on permutation groups,
but I doubt that this will be feasible for big matrices...

regards,
Dima
