This PR proves that the antipode of a Hopf algebra is an antihomomorphism:
antipode (a * b) = antipode b * antipode a.

The proof uses the convolution algebra structure on (A ⊗ A) →ₗ[R] A and shows that S ∘ μ and μ ∘ (S ⊗ S) ∘ comm are both convolution inverses of μ, hence they must be equal by uniqueness of inverses.

This resolves a TODO listed in the file header.

  • The relative value is the weighted sum of the differences with weight given by the inverse of the current value of the statistic.
  • The absolute value is the relative value divided by the total sum of the inverses of the current values (i.e. the weighted average of the differences).

This PR proves that the antipode of a Hopf algebra is an antihomomorphism:
`antipode (a * b) = antipode b * antipode a`.

The proof uses the convolution algebra structure on `(A ⊗ A) →ₗ[R] A` and
shows that `S ∘ μ` and `μ ∘ (S ⊗ S) ∘ comm` are both convolution inverses
of `μ`, hence they must be equal by uniqueness of inverses.
