As mentioned in this sage-devel thread, it would be nice to fix a convention for the typography of proper noun in functions. In other words what should be the standard

  1. count_Heegner_points
  2. count_heegner_points
  3. both (in which case we need to choose which one is an alias of the other)

The developer manual should be updated accordingly.

see also #18975 for case-insensitive search with search_src

Some examples:

  • Element: .N() for numerical approximations

  • matrix: .LLL() matrix reduction, .LU() and .QR() matrix decomposition, ..., .is_LLL_reduced()

  • quadratic forms: Gram_det, Gram_matrix, GHY_mass__maximal, CS_genus_symbol_list, Hessian_matrix, Kitaoka_mass_at_2

  • graphs: lex_BFS

  • GelfandTsetlinPattern: Tokuyama_coefficient
