In a crystalline phase transition, the space-group symmetries of the highand low-symmetry phases often exhibit a group±subgroup relation: L H. In the Landau theory of phase transitions, this transition is described by order parameters (OPs). Each such OP is an n-dimensional vector g in the space de®ned by an irreducible representation (IR) of H. The IR maps each operator h 2 H onto an n n matrix D(h). For a given OP g, the operators h 2 H which satisfy Dhg = g form a group L0 such that L L0 H. The primary OPs are those for which L0 = L. They determine the symmetry of the low-symmetry phase. The other OPs are secondary OPs. (This situation can become more complex in the case of coupled OPs.) The aim of the program is to generate a complete list of OPs, both primary and secondary, associated with a given group±subgroup pair of space groups L H. The generation of this list is a solution to a generalization of the inverse Landau problem (Ascher & Kobayashi, 1977; Ascher, 1977).
