Classi

Classi is a set of classification programs for geometries in general relativity written for SHEEP. The most important classification program is the program for invariant classification of geometries. For theory of this classification see [1,2], , for an examplified description of the implemented algorithm including the facility for complex numbers in module hlpfns and funtst see [3]. Some results obtained using this classification program are found in [4,5,6,7,8].
