Let D4 denote the transformations that leave a square invariant. If r denotes a rotation of 90° about the center of the square in the counter-clockwise sense, and f denotes the flipping of the square about one of its diagonals, then the defining relations for D4 are given by: r4=e=f2=(rf)2.D4 is the dihedral group of order 2 × 4 = 8. Both D3 and D4 are non-Abelian groups. The dihedral group Dn of order 2n is defined in a similar fashion as the group of congruent transformations of a regular polygon of n sides. The groups Dn, n ≥ 3, are all non-Abelian. Dn is of order 2n for each n.

Given a regular n‐gon, the dihedral group Dn is the group of all symmetries of the n‐gon, that is, the group generated by the set of all rotations around the center of the n‐gon through angles of 360k/n degrees (where k = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n - 1) , together with all reflections in lines passing through a vertex and the center of the n‐gon, using composition of functions. Alternately, Dn={aibj|i=0,1;j=0,1,...,n-1;aba-1=b-1}. $ D_{n} = \{ a^{i} b^{j} |i = 0, 1; j = 0, 1, . . . , n - 1;aba^{ - 1} = b^{ - 1} \} . $

also leave it fixed. We call this set of rotations and reflections D4 (the dihedral group of the square). Note that the star in Figure 6.9 has precisely the same symmetry, namely D4. (It can be shown that if a figure has k reflections of symmetry, then it has k rotations of symmetry, counting the identity, and we say the symmetry is Dk.)

Formally, symmetry properties of a dynamical system manifest themselves by an equivariance property of the right-hand side. That is, satisfies where is a compact Lie group. It is well known that equivariance properties are inherited by the linearization of f from the symmetry properties of the steady-state solutions . In fact, this is the reason why generically may possess multiple eigenvalues, which implies the occurrence of complex symmetry breaking bifurcations in dynamical systems. This happens, for instance, if () or (), where is the dihedral group of order ℓ, that is, the symmetry group of the ℓ-sided regular polygon.

For , , the projected group is isomorphic to the dihedral group D6 of order 12. The -orbit of is projected into two -orbits, since the -orbits of coincide, as in Figure 3. Therefore, , This means that is a linear combination of the two -invariant functions and . For the geometrical consequences, see Figure 4.•
