  Dihedral group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the dihedral group of order 2n is the abstract group of which one representation is the symmetry group in 2D of a regular polygon with n sides.
is the identity, and we have a finite dihedral group of order 2n.
As subgroups of the isometry group of Z they are different: the reflections in one subgroup all have a fixed point, the mirrors are at the integers, while none in the other subgroup has, the mirrors are in between (the translations of both are the same: by even numbers).

 Examples of groups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an Abelian group and our first (nondiscrete) example of a Lie group: a group whose underlying set is a manifold.
Groups are very important to describe the symmetry of objects, be they geometrical (like a tetrahedron) or algebraic (like a set of equations).
Free groups are important in algebraic topology; the free group in two generators is also used for a proof of the Banach–Tarski paradox.

 ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Groups
A group G is said to be a finite group if the set G has a finite number of elements.
Let G be a group, and let H be a subset of G. Then H is called a subgroup of G if H is itself a group, under the operation induced by G. Proposition.

 Abstract
Figure 11, we see that Maschke associated the dihedral groups with the rotations of a dihedron (a solid determined by a regular n-gon on the equator of a sphere, with an additional vertex at each pole).
Figure 2, for the dihedral group determined by the triangle in this case, is easily explained in terms of a cyclic element of order n and any reflection.
     The truncated cube (Figure 6) is generated by “a rotation of period 3 about the diameter passing through the middle points of the two faces a, and a rotation of period 2 about the diameter bisecting the edges 4-5 and 3-6.”  These become permutations a = (1,5,4)(2,6,3) and b = (1,2)(3,6)(4,5).

Running time depends primarily on the group order, not the number of vertices.
If it hasn't crossed your mind yet, there is straightforward way to compute the symmetry group by choosing n independant vectors (n is the dimension) and running through all transformations defined by taking those n vectors to n other vectors, then checking if this transformation is orthogonal and fixes the set of points.
The group is the dihedral group of order 6.
