Larger Neighbor
Robert P. Munafo, 2001 Jan 23.
The larger neighbor of a mu-atom is one that is larger. There are at most two; one in the clockwise direction and one counterclockwise. There are aleph-0 smaller neighbors in each direction.
If A and B are the larger neighbors of C, then C is the inner neighbor is A and B.
Example: R2.2/5a is a mu-atom. Its two larger neighbors are R2.1/2a and R2.1/3a.
See also inner neighbor, internal angle, smaller neighbor, Farey addition.
