Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
For the past eight years, we have been producing efficient portable software for group-theoretical problems which are theoretically unsolvable, but are solvable in some important specific situations. These include deciding finiteness and the word, conjugacy and isomorphism problems. Much of this software involves finite state automata and rewriting systems. Related work is being carried out by scientists in the USA, France and Germany. We plan to cooperate in the development of software and the underlying mathematical theory. We will hold regular meetings, once a year at the Geometry Center in Minneapolis and once a year at Warwick. We also plan to cooperate with the authors of the group-theory packages, GAP (Aachen, Germany), thereby making it available to a much wider range of users.
