mekso unary operator: Levi-Civita symbol; for input <span class="MATH"><i>n</i></span>-tuple MATH<br />
$(a_1, a_2,$<br />
<br />
<span class="MATH">(<i>a</i><sub>1</sub>, <i>a</i><sub>2</sub>,</span> ... <span class="MATH">, <i>a</i><sub>n</sub>)</span>, where <span class="MATH"><i>n</i></span> is a strictly positive integer, the output is MATH<br />

<span class="MATH"><img alt="$\varepsilon$" src="/jbovlaste_export/vDiUrtORQI/img2.png" style="height: 1.12ex; vertical-align: -0.12ex; "/></span> is the Levi-Civita symbol under the convention of mapping <span class="MATH">(1, 2,</span> ...<span class="MATH">, <i>n</i>)</span> to <span class="MATH">1</span>.<br />
<br />
==== notes ====<br />
<br />
If any at least two elements of the input tuple are mutually equal (id est: if there exists <span class="MATH"><i>i</i></span> and <span class="MATH"><i>j</i></span> which are strictly positive integers which do not exceed <span class="MATH"><i>n</i></span> such that <span class="MATH"><i>a</i><sub>i</sub> = <i>a</i><sub>j</sub></span>, where the input tuple is as defined supra), then the output is <span class="MATH">0</span>; else, the output is sgn MATH<br />
$((a_1, a_2,$<br />
<br />
<span class="MATH">((<i>a</i><sub>1</sub>, <i>a</i><sub>2</sub>,</span> ... <span class="MATH">, <i>a</i><sub>n</sub>))</span>, where the input to the sgn function there is a permutation denoted in one-line permutation notation. This format is somewhat consistent with index notation in tensor calculus, but treats the indices as ordered entries of a tuple. More generally, the Levi-Civita symbol may be defined for any function <span class="MATH"><i>f</i></span> which maps space <span class="MATH"><i>S</i></span> to <span class="MATH"><i>S</i></span>; in such case, the input could be <span class="MATH"><i>f</i></span> instead of the aforementioned tuple. Covariant and contravariant Levi-Civita tensors can also be defined. See also: "[[mai'u'e|mai'u'e]]", "[[mai'u|mai'u]]".<br />
