Book DetailsContemporary MathematicsVolume: 349; 2004; 224 ppMSC: Primary 20; 81; Secondary 68
Since its origin in the early 20th century, combinatorial group theory has been primarily concerned with algorithms for solving particular problems on groups given by generators and relations: word problems, conjugacy problems, isomorphism problems, etc. Recent years have seen the focus of algorithmic group theory shift from the decidability/undecidability type of result to the complexity of algorithms. Papers in this volume reflect that paradigm shift.
Articles are based on the AMS/ASL Joint Special Session, Interactions Between Logic, Group Theory and Computer Science.
The volume is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in computational problems of group theory.
ReadershipGraduate students and research mathematicians interested in computational problems of group theory.
