1) A solution for the first problem :
data00 = {{0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 2, 2}, {0, 0, 3, 3}, {1, 1, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 2,
2},
{1, 1, 3, 3}, {2, 2, 0, 0}, {2, 2, 1, 1}, {2, 2, 3, 3}, {3, 3, 0, 0},
{3, 3, 1, 1}, {3, 3, 2, 2}};
data00 //. {x1___, a : {a1_, a1_, b1_, b1_}, x2___, {b1_, b1_, a1_, a1_},
x3___} -> {x1, a, x2, x3}
It returns :{{0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 2, 2}, {0, 0, 3, 3}, {1, 1, 2, 2}, {1, 1,
3, 3}, {2, 2, 3, 3}} as you want.
2) For the more general second point :
data01 = {{a, b, c, d}, {b, a, c, d}, {a, b, d, c}};
testQ[a_, b_] := (Sort[a] === Sort[b]) (* put here any relation you want,
this one fuullfills your need,
so far i
understand it *)
data01 //. ({x1___, a : {_, _, _, _}, x2___, b : {_, _, _, _}, x3___} /;
testQ[a, b]) -> {x1, a, x2, x3}
It returns : {{a, b, c, d}} as you want, I think.
It works with data00 too.
The key command is "//." (alias "PeplaceAll[ ]") or anything of the family
"*Replace*" (Replace,RepladeRepeated ..)
The solutions I suggest here are slow (not to use on big data sets).
