Self-Paired Orbital


A self-paired orbital is an orbital Delta that equals its paired orbital,

 Delta=Delta^T.

Equivalently, (x,y) in Delta if and only if (y,x) in Delta. The opposite arcs of the corresponding orbital digraph can therefore be identified to give the edges of an undirected orbital graph.
