CALLING SEQUENCE:

HekaAdd(e_1, e_2)

HEKA[HekaAdd](e_1, e_2)

PARAMETERS:

e_1, e_2 = any elements of the Hecke algebra

SYNOPSIS:

• The HekaAdd function adds two elements of the Hecke algebra.

• One can use instead the operator &?+.

• Whenever there is a conflict between the function name HekaAdd and another name used in the same session, use the long form HEKA['HekaAdd'].

> with(HEKA):
> a:=q + u/t*A[3,1,2]:
> b:=t - A[1,3,2]:
> HekaAdd(a, b);
