	~~In [[group theory]], a '''dicyclic group''' (notation '''Dic'''<sub>''n''</sub>) is a member of a class of [[non~~-abelian group\|non-abelian]] [[group (mathematics)\|group]]s of order 4''n'' (''n'' > 1). It is an [[group extension\|extension]] of the cyclic group of order 2 by a cyclic group of order 2''n'', giving the name ''di-cyclic''. In the notation of [[exact sequence]]s of groups, this extension can be expressed as:

	~~:<math>1 \to C_{2n} \to \mbox{Dic}_n \to C_2 \to 1. \, </math>~~

	~~More generally, given any finite abelian group with an order-2 element, one can define a dicyclic group.~~

	~~==Definition==~~

	~~For each integer ''n'' > 1, the dicyclic group Dic<sub>''n''</sub> can be defined as the [[subgroup]] of the unit [[quaternion]]s generated by~~

	~~:<math>\begin{align} a & = e^{i\pi/n} = \cos\frac{\pi}{n} + i\sin\frac{\pi}{n} \\~~
	~~x & = j~~
	~~\end{align}~~
	~~</math>~~

	More abstractly, one can define the dicyclic group Dic<sub>''n''</sub> as any group having the [[presentation of a group\|presentation]]<ref name="Roman">{{cite book \|last1=Roman \|first1=Steven \|authorlink1=Steven Roman \|title=Fundamentals of Group Theory: An Advanced Approach \|year~~=2011 \|publisher=Springer \|isbn=9780817683016 \|pages=347–348 }}</ref>~~

	~~:<math>\mbox{Dic}_n = \langle a,x \mid a^{2n} = 1,\ x^2 = a^n,\ x^{-1}ax = a^{-1}\rangle.\,\!</math>~~

	~~Some things to note which follow from this definition:~~
	* ''x''<sup>4</sup> = 1
	* ''x''<sup>2</sup>''a''<sup>''k''</sup> = ''a''<sup>''k''+''n''</sup> = ''a''<sup>''k''</sup>''x''<sup>2</sup>
	* if ''j'' = ±1, then ''x''<sup>''j''</sup>''a''<sup>''k''</sup> = ''a''<sup>-''k''</sup>''x''<sup>''j''</sup>.
	* ''a''<sup>''k''</sup>''x''<sup>−1</sup> = ''a''<sup>''k''−''n''</sup>''a''<sup>''n''</sup>''x''<sup>−1</sup> = ''a''<sup>''k''−''n''</sup>''x''<sup>2</sup>''x''<sup>−1</sup> = ''a''<sup>''k''−''n''</sup>''x''.

	~~Thus, every element of Dic<sub>''n''</sub> can be uniquely written as ''a''<sup>''k''</sup>''x''<sup>''j''</sup>~~, ~~where 0 ≤ ''k'' < 2''n''~~ and ~~''j'' = 0 or 1. The multiplication rules are given by~~
	*<math>a^k a^m = a^{k+m}</math>
	*<math>a^k a^m x = a^{k+m}x</math>
	*<math>a^k x a^m = a^{k-m}x</math>
	*<math>a^k x a^m x = a^{k-m+n}</math>
	~~It follows that Dic<sub>''n''</sub> has [[order (group theory)\|order]] 4''n''.<ref name="Roman"/>~~

	~~When ''n'' = 2, the dicyclic group is [[isomorphic]]~~ to ~~the [[quaternion group]] ''Q''. More generally, when ''n'' is a power of 2, the dicyclic group is isomorphic to the [[generalized quaternion group]].<ref name="Roman"/>~~

	~~==Properties==~~

	For each ''n'' > 1, the dicyclic group Dic<sub>''n''</sub> is a [[non-abelian group]] of order 4''n''. ("Dic<sub>1</sub>" is ''C''<sub>4</sub>, the cyclic group of order 4, which is abelian, and is not considered dicyclic.)

	Let ''A'' = <''a''> be the subgroup of Dic<sub>''n''</sub> [[generating set of a group\|generated]] by ''a''. Then ''A'' is a cyclic group of order 2''n'', so [Dic<sub>''n''</sub>:''A''] = 2. As a subgroup of [[Index of a subgroup\|index]] 2 it is automatically a [[normal subgroup]]. The quotient group Dic<sub>''n''</sub>/''A'' is a cyclic group of order 2.

	~~Dic<sub>''n''</sub> is [[solvable group\|solvable]]; note that ''A'' is normal, and being abelian, is itself solvable.~~

	~~==Binary dihedral group==~~
	~~[[Image:Dicyclic-commutative-diagram.svg\|right]]~~

	The dicyclic group is a [[binary polyhedral group]] — it is one of the classes of subgroups of the [[Pin group]] Pin<sub>−</sub>(2), which is a subgroup of the [[Spin group]] Spin(3) — and in this context is known as the '''binary dihedral group'''.

	~~The connection~~ with the [[binary cyclic group]] ''C''<sub>2''n''</sub>, the cyclic group ''C''<sub>''n''</sub>, and the [[dihedral group]] Dih<sub>''n''</sub> of order 2''n'' is illustrated in the diagram at right, and parallels the corresponding diagram for the Pin group.

	There is a superficial resemblance between the dicyclic groups and [[dihedral group]]s; both are a sort of "mirroring" of an underlying cyclic group. But the presentation of a dihedral group would have ''x''<sup>2</sup> = 1, instead of ''x''<sup>2</sup> = ''a''<sup>''n''</sup>; and this yields a different structure. In particular, Dic<sub>''n''</sub> is not a [[semidirect product]] of ''A'' and <''x''>, since ''A'' ∩ <''x''> is not trivial.

	The dicyclic group has a unique [[involution (mathematics)#Group theory\|involution]] (i.e. an element of order 2), namely ''x''<sup>2</sup> = ''a''<sup>''n''</sup>. Note that this element lies in the [[center of a group\|center]] of Dic<sub>''n''</sub>. Indeed, the center consists solely of the identity element and ''x''<sup>2</sup>. If we add the relation ''x''<sup>2</sup> = 1 to the presentation of Dic<sub>''n''</sub> one obtains a presentation of the [[dihedral group]] Dih<sub>2''n''</sub>, so the quotient group Dic<sub>''n''</sub>/<''x''<sup>2</sup>> is isomorphic to Dih<sub>''n''</sub>.

	There is a natural 2-to-1 [[homomorphism]] from the group of unit quaternions to the 3-dimensional [[rotation group SO(3)\|rotation group]] described at [[quaternions and spatial rotation]]s. Since the dicyclic group can be embedded inside the unit quaternions one can ask what the image of it is under this homomorphism. The answer is just the dihedral symmetry group Dih<sub>''n''</sub>. For this reason the dicyclic group is also known as the '''binary dihedral group'''. Note that the dicyclic group does not contain any subgroup isomorphic to Dih<sub>''n''</sub>.

	~~The analogous pre-image construction, using Pin<sub>+</sub>(2) instead of Pin<sub>−</sub>(2), yields another dihedral group, Dih<sub>2''n''</sub>, rather than a dicyclic group.~~

	~~==Generalizations==~~

	~~Let ''A'' be an [[abelian group]], having a specific element ''y''~~ in ~~''A'' with order 2~~. A group ''G'' is called a '''generalized dicyclic group''', written as '''Dic(''A'', ''y'')''', if it is generated by ''A'' and an additional element ''x'', and in addition we have that [''G'':''A''] = 2, ''x''<~~sup~~>2<~~/sup~~> ~~= ''y'', and for all ''a'' in ''A'', ''x''<sup>−1</sup>''ax'' = ''a''<sup>&minus~~;~~1</sup>.~~

	~~Since for a cyclic group of even order, there is always a unique element of order 2, we can see that dicyclic groups are just a specific type of generalized dicyclic group.~~

You are a beginner or expert of fitness, knowing your treadmill better is constantly an advantage. We must understand about what are the features of the different treadmill brands such as Proform treadmill, Cybex treadmill etc you may be going to use. Most of us don't take much interest found on the attributes, rather we like to recognize where the water bottle holder is. Knowledge of treadmill features used could add to the usefulness of the workout. I may venture to state it is impossible for the average individual to do 1000 sit ups in calorie burn calculator one day, but it is very truly possible for the average individual to walk 2.5 miles (35-45 minutes a day). Walking and jogging are very synonymous, so is 1 activity actually better than the different? That all depends on what your goals are. If you intend to just get a quick exercise in considering of a rushed schedule or other reason, jogging might be better for you should you could handle the impact considering you'll receive more activity in during that smaller time period. If you prefer a longer stroll and maybe even have some aches and pains absolutely yet nonetheless wish To exercise plus have an hr or two to spare, walking can be your better option. Either means, both are desirable for a wellness, so whichever 1 you prefer: GO OUT AND DO IT! At Health Status, you are able to furthermore calculate a body fat percentage. For this, plus height and gender, you have to measure your waist at the narrowest point and at the navel, your hips at the widest point, and a neck at the narrowest point. Now input a [http://safedietplansforwomen.com/calories-burned-walking calories burned calculator] fat, plus you'll be given your body fat percentage, together with the your ideal ratio, and the American average for comparison. In my case, I was lower than average, however, about 6% higher than the ideal. There is furthermore information about what constitutes harmful fat percentages. My Calorie Counter (click here) is another free diet help webpage. I like the design of the food log plus exercise planner. Users type in that foods they ate plus what exercises or task they performed. The software analyzes calorie count in calories burned calculator food and logs them inside the food journal. The Exercise and Fitness tool tracks calories burned whenever specific escapades are indexed. What helped him tbrough the dark occasions was running and feeling the oxygen pumping through his body when he exercised. Downie sought to share the feeling of exhilaration he felt whenever exercising with thousands of people by creating a area that would help them to exercise plus eat right. The key to not falling prey to such supermarket schemes is 'mind control'. It's all inside the notice! Keep telling yourself you may be not going to succumb to any temptation. If you win the battle in the mind, you are sure to have self control in the mall. Being sure regarding what you need, can aid avoid indulging inside impulse purchasing.
