From: fisico32 on 28 May 2010 08:43 Hello Forum, I am dealing with a 2D function of time. A 1D function f(t) is symmetric and even if f(t)=f(-t) I am dealing with a function f(t1,t2) instead for which f(t1,t2)=f(-t1, -t2). In the plane t1-t2, how many possible symmetries with respect to vertical planes can a function like f(t1,t2) have? I guess it depends on the function. Is there a way using combinatorics to find out the various combinations of the arguments t1,t2 to determine if the function is "even"? What does the concept of "even" function mean in 2D? thanks, fisico

Your first sentence is not true in the finite sampled domain for some definitions of even. Dale B. Dalrymple

A number of obvious symmetries can be defined for 2-D. BTW for 1-D, what you described is even symmetic about the origin. Dirk

AFAIK it's a universally accepted definition. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com
