Coset - Applications

Applications

  • Cosets of Q in R are used in the construction of Vitali sets, a type of non-measurable set.
  • Cosets are central in the definition of the transfer.
  • Cosets are important in computational group theory. For example Thistlethwaite's algorithm for solving Rubik's Cube relies heavily on cosets.
  • Coset leaders are used in decoding received data in Linear error-correcting codes.
