The asymmetric regions of rotation functions between Patterson functions of arbitrarily high symmetry.
Rotation functions between Patterson functions can be calculated and analyzed more efficiently when it is possible to consider only a unique or asymmetric region of rotation space. Previous authors have succeeded in characterizing the symmetries and asymmetric units of rotation functions between Patterson functions whose symmetries are less than cubic. Here we describe a simple and general solution that applies to rotation functions between Patterson functions of any symmetry, including cubic. The method relies on partitioning rotation space into Dirichlet domains.
