[docs] def simple_root(self, i): """ Every lie algebra has a unique root system. Given a root system Q, there is a subset of the roots such that an element of Q is called a simple root if it cannot be written as the sum of two elements in Q. If we let D denote the set of simple roots, then it is clear that every element of Q can be written as a linear combination of elements of D with all coefficients non-negative. In B_n the first n-1 simple roots are the same as the roots in A_(n-1) (a 1 in the ith position, a -1 in the (i+1)th position, and zeroes elsewhere). The n-th simple root is the root with a 1 in the nth position and zeroes elsewhere. This method returns the ith simple root for the B series.
