  [33X[0;0YA  [13Xfinitely  presented  group[113X  (in short: FpGroup) is a group generated by a
  finite  set of [13Xabstract generators[113X subject to a finite set of [13Xrelations[113X that
  these  generators  satisfy.  Every  finite  group  can  be  represented as a
  finitely  presented  group, though in almost all cases it is computationally
  much  more  efficient  to  work  in another representation (even the regular
  permutation representation).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YFinitely presented groups are obtained by factoring a free group by a set of
  relators.   Their   elements   know  about  this  presentation  and  compare
  accordingly.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSo  to  create  a finitely presented group you first have to generate a free
  group  (see [2XFreeGroup[102X ([14X37.2-1[114X) for details). There are two ways to specify a
  quotient of the free group: either by giving a list of relators or by giving
  a  list  of equations. Relators are just words in the generators of the free
  group.  Equations are represented as pairs of words in the generators of the
  free  group. In either case the generators of the quotient are [13Xthe images[113X of
  the  free  generators  under  the canonical homomorphism from the free group
  onto the quotient. So for example to create the group[133X

  [33X[0;0Yyou can use the following commands:[133X

  [4X[32X[104X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote that you cannot call the generators by their names. These names are not
  variables,  but  just  display  figures.  So,  if  you  want  to  access the
  generators  by  their  names,  you  first  have  to introduce the respective
  variables and to assign the generators to them.[133X

  [33X[0;0YTo  relieve  you of the tedium of typing the above assignments, [13Xwhen working
  interactively[113X, there is the function [2XAssignGeneratorVariables[102X ([14X37.2-3[114X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote that the generators of the free group are different from the generators
  of  the  FpGroup  (even  though  they are displayed by the same names). That
  means that words in the generators of the free group are not elements of the
  finitely presented group. Vice versa elements of the FpGroup are not words.[133X
  
  [4X[32X  Example  [32X[104X
    [4X[25Xgap>[125X [27Xa*b = b*a;[127X[104X

    [4X[28Xtrue[128X[104X
  [4X[32X[104X
  
  [33X[0;0YSuch  calculations  comparing  elements of an FpGroup may run into problems:
  There  exist  finitely presented groups for which no algorithm exists (it is
  known  that  no  such  algorithm can exist) that will tell for two arbitrary
  words  in  the  generators whether the corresponding elements in the FpGroup
  are equal.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YTherefore  the  methods  used by [5XGAP[105X to compute in finitely presented groups
  may  run  into  warning  errors,  run  out  of memory or run forever. If the
  FpGroup  is  (by theory) known to be finite the algorithms are guaranteed to
  terminate (if there is sufficient memory available), but the time needed for
  the calculation cannot be bounded a priori. See [14X47.6[114X and [14X47.16[114X.[133X

  [4X[32X[104X
  
  [33X[0;0YA  consequence  of  our  convention  is  that elements of finitely presented
  groups  are  not  printed in a unique way. See also [2XSetReducedMultiplication[102X
  ([14X47.3-4[114X).  For  many  [21Xhigher  level[121X computations for a finite group, such as
  conjugacy  classes or character table, it is advisable not to use an FpGroup
  but  an  isomorphic  group in a better internal representation, such as a pc
  group   (see  [2XIsomorphismPcGroup[102X  ([14X46.5-2[114X))  or  a  permutation  group  (see
  [2XIsomorphismPermGroup[102X   ([14X43.3-1[114X)).  In  fact,  calling  a  function  such  as
  [2XConjugacyClasses[102X  ([14X39.10-2[114X)  with  an  FpGroup for which [10XHasIsFinite[110X returns
  [9Xfalse[109X  may result in an error message, because the developers of the FpGroup
  code  do  not  want  an  [13Xautomatic[113X  [2XIsFinite[102X  ([14X30.4-2[114X)  test  (which may not
  terminate)  in the function. (Once the [2XIsFinite[102X ([14X30.4-2[114X) value is known, the
  computation  in  question  can  be  done  with  the FpGroup, but still it is
  advisable to use a better internal representation.)[133X

  [33X[0;0YFree groups are a special case of finitely presented groups, namely finitely

  [33X[0;0YNote  that  [10XFreeGroup(infinity)[110X (which exists e.g. for purposes of rewriting
  presentations  with  further  generators)  satisfies  this filter, though of
  course  it  is  not  finitely  generated  (and thus not finitely presented).
  [10XIsFpGroup[110X  thus  is not a proper property test and slightly misnamed for the
  sake of its most prominent uses.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAnother  special case are groups given by polycyclic presentations. [5XGAP[105X uses
  a  special  representation  for these groups which is created in a different
  way. See chapter [14X46[114X for details.[133X

  [33X[0;0YTwo  elements  of  a finitely presented group are equal if they are equal in
  this  group.  Nevertheless they may be represented as different words in the
  generators.   Because   of   the   fundamental  problems  mentioned  in  the
  introduction  to  this  chapter such a test may take very long and cannot be
  guaranteed to finish.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  method  employed  by  [5XGAP[105X  for such an equality test use the underlying
  finitely  presented group. First (unless this group is known to be infinite)
  [5XGAP[105X  tries  to  find  a  faithful  permutation  representation  by a bounded
  Todd-Coxeter.  If this fails, a Knuth-Bendix (see [14X52.5[114X) is attempted and the
  words are compared via their normal form.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIf  only elements in a subgroup are to be tested for equality it thus can be
  useful  to  translate  the  problem  in  a  new  finitely presented group by
  rewriting (see [2XIsomorphismFpGroup[102X ([14X47.11-1[114X));[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe equality test of elements underlies many [21Xbasic[121X calculations, such as the
  order  of an element, and the same type of problems can arise there. In some
  cases,  working  with rewriting systems can still help to solve the problem.
  The  [5Xkbmag[105X  package  provides such functionality, see the package manual for
  further details.[133X

  [33X[0;0YCompared  with  equality  testing,  problems  get  even worse when trying to
  compute  a  total ordering on the elements of a finitely presented group. As
  any  ordering that is guaranteed to be reproducible in different runs of [5XGAP[105X
  or  even  with  different  groups given by syntactically equal presentations
  would  be  prohibitively expensive to implement, the ordering of elements is
  depending on a method chosen by [5XGAP[105X and not guaranteed to stay the same when
  repeating the construction of an FpGroup. The only guarantee given for the [10X<[110X
  ordering  for  such  elements  is  that it will stay the same for one family
  during its lifetime. The attribute [2XFpElmComparisonMethod[102X ([14X47.3-3[114X) is used to
  obtain a comparison function for a family of FpGroup elements.[133X

  with  further  properties.  Then [2XUnderlyingElement[102X returns the word from the
  free group that is used as a representative for [3Xelm[103X.[133X

  [1X47.5 [33X[0;0YOperations for Finitely Presented Groups[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YFinitely presented groups are groups and so all operations for groups should
  be  applicable  to  them  (though  not  necessarily  efficient  methods  are
  available).  However,  one may run into errors if the FpGroup does not store
  that  it  is  finite; see the introduction to this chapter. Most methods for
  finitely presented groups rely on coset enumeration. See [14X47.6[114X for details.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  command  [2XIsomorphismPermGroup[102X ([14X43.3-1[114X) can be used to obtain a faithful
  permutation representation, if such a representation of small degree exists.
  (Otherwise it might run very long or fail.)[133X

  [1X47.6 [33X[0;0YCoset Tables and Coset Enumeration[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YCoset enumeration (see [Neu82] for an explanation) is one of the fundamental
  tools  for  the  examination  of  finitely  presented  groups.  This section
  describes [5XGAP[105X functions that can be used to invoke a coset enumeration.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that  in  addition  to  the built-in coset enumerator there is the [5XGAP[105X
  package  [5XACE[105X.  Moreover, [5XGAP[105X provides an interactive Todd-Coxeter in the [5XGAP[105X
  package [5XITC[105X which is based on the [5XXGAP[105X package.[133X
  
  [1X47.6-1 CosetTable[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XCosetTable[102X( [3XG[103X, [3XH[103X ) [32X operation[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yreturns  the  coset table of the finitely presented group [3XG[103X on the cosets of
  the subgroup [3XH[103X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YBasically  a  coset  table is the permutation representation of the finitely
  presented  group  on the cosets of a subgroup (which need not be faithful if
  the  subgroup  has  a  nontrivial core). Most of the set theoretic and group
  functions  use  the  regular representation of [3XG[103X, i.e., the coset table of [3XG[103X
  over the trivial subgroup.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  coset table is returned as a list of lists. For each generator of [3XG[103X and
  its  inverse the table contains a generator list. A generator list is simply
  a  list  of  integers. If [22Xl[122X is the generator list for the generator [22Xg[122X and if
  [22Xl[i] = j[122X then generator [22Xg[122X takes the coset [22Xi[122X to the coset [22Xj[122X by multiplication
  from  the right. Thus the permutation representation of [3XG[103X on the cosets of [3XH[103X
  is obtained by applying [2XPermList[102X ([14X42.5-2[114X) to each generator list.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe coset table is standard (see below).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YFor  finitely  presented groups, a coset table is computed by a Todd-Coxeter
  coset  enumeration.  Note  that  you  may  influence the performance of that
  enumeration    by    changing   the   values   of   the   global   variables
  [2XCosetTableDefaultLimit[102X   ([14X47.6-7[114X)   and  [2XCosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[102X  ([14X47.6-6[114X)
  described     below     and     that    the    options    described    under
  [2XCosetTableFromGensAndRels[102X ([14X47.6-5[114X) are recognized.[133X

  [33X[0;0YThe  last  printout in the preceding example provides the coset table in the
  form  in  which it is usually used in hand calculations: The rows correspond
  to  the  cosets, the columns correspond to the generators and their inverses
  in  the  ordering  [22Xg_1,  g_1^{-1},  g_2,  g_2^{-1}[122X.  (See section [14X47.7[114X for a

  [33X[0;0Yreturns a coset table for the action of [3XG[103X on the cosets of [3XH[103X. The columns of

  [33X[0;0Yis  an  internal  function  which  is  called  by  the  functions [2XCosetTable[102X
  ([14X47.6-1[114X),  [2XCosetTableInWholeGroup[102X  ([14X47.8-1[114X)  and others. It is, in fact, the
  workhorse  that  performs  a Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration. [3Xfgens[103X must be a
  set  of  free  generators  and  [3Xgrels[103X a set of relators in these generators.
  [3Xfsgens[103X  are  subgroup generators expressed as words in these generators. The
  function returns a coset table with respect to [3Xfgens[103X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[2XCosetTableFromGensAndRels[102X  will  call [10XTCENUM.CosetTableFromGensAndRels[110X. This
  makes  it possible to replace the built-in coset enumerator with another one
  by assigning [10XTCENUM[110X to another record.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  library  version  which  is  used by default performs a standard Felsch
  strategy  coset  enumeration.  You  can  call  this  function  explicitly as
  [10XGAPTCENUM.CosetTableFromGensAndRels[110X  even  if  other  coset  enumerators are
  installed.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe expected parameters are[133X

  [33X[0;0Y[2XCosetTableFromGensAndRels[102X processes two options (see chapter [14X8[114X):[133X
  
  [8X[10Xmax[110X[8X[108X
        [33X[0;6YThe  limit  of  the number of cosets to be defined. If the enumeration
        does not finish with this number of cosets, an error is raised and the
        user  is asked whether she wants to continue. The default value is the
        value  given  in  the  variable [10XCosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[110X. (Due to the
        algorithm  the  actual  limit used can be a bit higher than the number
        given.)[133X
  
  [8X[10Xsilent[110X[8X[108X
        [33X[0;6YIf  set to [9Xtrue[109X the algorithm will not raise the error mentioned under
        option  [10Xmax[110X  but  silently  return  [9Xfail[109X.  This  can  be  useful if an
        enumeration is only wanted unless it becomes too big.[133X
  
  [1X47.6-6 CosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XCosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[102X [32X global variable[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yis  the  default  limit  for  the  number  of  cosets  allowed  in  a  coset
  enumeration.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YA  coset  enumeration  will  not finish if the subgroup does not have finite
  index, and even if it has it may take many more intermediate cosets than the
  actual  index  of the subgroup is. To avoid a coset enumeration [21Xrunning away[121X
  therefore  [5XGAP[105X  has a [21Xsafety stop[121X built in. This is controlled by the global
  variable [2XCosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[102X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIf  this  number  of  cosets is reached, [5XGAP[105X will issue an error message and
  prompt  the  user  to  either  continue  the  calculation or to stop it. The
  default value is [22X4096000[122X.[133X

  [33X[0;0YAt  this  point,  a  [9Xbreak[109X-loop (see Section [14X6.4[114X) has been entered. The line
  beginning  [10XError[110X  tells you why this occurred. The next seven lines occur if
  [2XOnBreak[102X  ([14X6.4-3[114X)  has its default value [2XWhere[102X ([14X6.4-5[114X). They explain, in this
  case,  how  [5XGAP[105X  came  to be doing a coset enumeration. Then you are given a
  number  of  options of how to escape the [9Xbreak[109X-loop: you can either continue
  the  calculation  with  a  larger  number  of  permitted  cosets,  stop  the
  calculation  if  you  don't  expect  the  enumeration to finish (like in the
  example  above),  or  continue  without  a  limit  on  the number of cosets.
  (Choosing  the  first option will, of course, land you back in a [9Xbreak[109X-loop.
  Try it!)[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YSetting [2XCosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[102X (or the [10Xmax[110X option value, for any function
  that  invokes a coset enumeration) to [2Xinfinity[102X ([14X18.2-1[114X) (or to [22X0[122X) will force
  all coset enumerations to continue until they either get a result or exhaust
  the whole available space. For example, each of the following two inputs[133X
  
  [4X[32X[104X
    [4Xgap> CosetTableDefaultMaxLimit := 0;;[104X
    [4Xgap> Index( f, u );[104X

  [33X[0;0Yhave  essentially  the  same  effect  as  choosing the third option (typing:
  [10Xmaxlimit := 0; return;[110X) at the [10Xbrk>[110X prompt above (instead of [10Xquit;[110X).[133X
  
  [1X47.6-7 CosetTableDefaultLimit[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XCosetTableDefaultLimit[102X [32X global variable[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yis  the  default  number of cosets with which any coset table is initialized
  before doing a coset enumeration.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe function performing this coset enumeration will automatically extend the
  table  whenever  necessary  (as long as the number of cosets does not exceed
  the  value  of [2XCosetTableDefaultMaxLimit[102X ([14X47.6-6[114X)), but this is an expensive
  operation.  Thus,  if  you  change  the value of [2XCosetTableDefaultLimit[102X, you
  should  set  it  to  a number of cosets that you expect to be sufficient for
  your  subsequent  coset  enumerations. On the other hand, if you make it too
  large, your job will unnecessarily waste a lot of space.[133X

  [33X[0;0Yreturns  the  indices  of those generators of the finitely presented group [3XG[103X
  which  are  known  to  be  involutions.  This  knowledge is used by internal
  functions to improve the performance of coset enumerations.[133X
  
  
  [1X47.7 [33X[0;0YStandardization of coset tables[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YFor  any two coset numbers [22Xi[122X and [22Xj[122X with [22Xi < j[122X the first occurrence of [22Xi[122X in a
  coset  table  precedes  the  first occurrence of [22Xj[122X with respect to the usual
  row-wise  ordering  of  the table entries. Following the notation of Charles
  Sims'  book  on  computation  with finitely presented groups [Sim94] we call
  such a table a [13Xstandard coset table[113X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe table entries which contain the first occurrences of the coset numbers [22Xi
  >  1[122X  recursively  provide  for each [22Xi[122X a representative of the corresponding
  coset  in form of a unique word [22Xw_i[122X in the generators and inverse generators
  of  [22XG[122X.  The  first coset (which is [22XH[122X itself) can be represented by the empty
  word  [22Xw_1[122X.  A coset table is standard if and only if the words [22Xw_1, w_2, ...[122X
  are  length-plus-lexicographic  ordered  (as defined in [Sim94]), for short:
  [13Xlenlex[113X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThis  standardization  of  coset  tables  is different from that used in [5XGAP[105X
  versions  4.2  and  earlier.  Before  that,  we  ignored  the  columns  that
  correspond  to  inverse  generators  and  hence only considered words in the
  generators  of  [22XG[122X. We call this older ordering the [13Xsemilenlex[113X standard as it
  also  applies  to the case of semigroups where no inverses of the generators
  are known.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YWe  changed  our default from the semilenlex standard to the lenlex standard
  to  be  consistent  with  [Sim94].  However,  the semilenlex standardisation
  remains  available and the convention used for all implicit standardisations
  can   be   selected   by   setting   the   value   of  the  global  variable
  [2XCosetTableStandard[102X  ([14X47.7-1[114X) to either [10X"lenlex"[110X or [10X"semilenlex"[110X. Independent
  of  the current value of [2XCosetTableStandard[102X ([14X47.7-1[114X) you can standardize (or
  restandardize) a coset table at any time using [2XStandardizeTable[102X ([14X47.7-2[114X).[133X
  
  [1X47.7-1 CosetTableStandard[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XCosetTableStandard[102X [32X global variable[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yspecifies  the  definition  of  a  [13Xstandard coset table[113X. It is used whenever
  coset  tables  or  augmented  coset  tables  are  created.  Its value may be
  [10X"lenlex"[110X   or   [10X"semilenlex"[110X.  If  it  is  [10X"lenlex"[110X  coset  tables  will  be
  standardized  using all their columns as defined in Charles Sims' book (this
  is  the  new  default  standard  of [5XGAP[105X). If it is [10X"semilenlex"[110X they will be
  standardized  using  only their generator columns (this was the original [5XGAP[105X
  standard). The default value of [2XCosetTableStandard[102X is [10X"lenlex"[110X.[133X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XStandardizeTable[102X( [3Xtable[103X, [3Xstandard[103X ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Ystandardizes  the  given coset table [3Xtable[103X. The second argument is optional.
  It  defines  the  standard  to  be  used,  its  values  may  be  [10X"lenlex"[110X or
  [10X"semilenlex"[110X  specifying  the new or the old convention, respectively. If no
  value  for  the  parameter  [3Xstandard[103X  is  provided the function will use the
  global  variable [2XCosetTableStandard[102X ([14X47.7-1[114X) instead. Note that the function
  alters the given table, it does not create a copy.[133X

  [33X[0;0YFor  a  subgroup  [3XH[103X  of a finitely presented group, this function returns an

  [33X[0;0Yis  an  internal  function  used  by  the  subgroup  presentation  functions

  [33X[0;0Yis  an  internal  function  used  by  the  subgroup  presentation  functions
  described  in  [14X48.2[114X.  It applies the Reduced Reidemeister-Schreier method to

  with  respect  to  which  the  augmented  coset  table  [3Xaug[103X is given) in the

  [33X[0;0YThese   functions  compute  representatives  of  the  conjugacy  classes  of
  subgroups of the finitely presented group [3XG[103X that contain the subgroup [3XH[103X of [3XG[103X
  and that have index less than or equal to [3Xindex[103X.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[2XLowIndexSubgroupsFpGroupIterator[102X  returns an iterator (see [14X30.8[114X) that can be
  used  to  run over these subgroups, and [2XLowIndexSubgroupsFpGroup[102X returns the
  list of these subgroups. If one is interested only in one or a few subgroups
  up to a given index then preferably the iterator should be used.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIf the optional argument [3Xexcluded[103X has been specified, then it is expected to
  be a list of words in the free generators of the underlying free group of [3XG[103X,
  and  [2XLowIndexSubgroupsFpGroup[102X  returns only those subgroups of index at most
  [3Xindex[103X  that  contain [3XH[103X, but do not contain any conjugate of any of the group
  elements defined by these words.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YIf not given, [3XH[103X defaults to the trivial subgroup.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  algorithm  used finds the requested subgroups by systematically running
  through  a  tree  of all potential coset tables of [3XG[103X of length at most [3Xindex[103X
  (where it skips all branches of that tree for which it knows in advance that
  they  cannot provide new classes of such subgroups). The time required to do
  this  depends,  of  course, on the presentation of [3XG[103X, but in general it will
  grow  exponentially  with  the value of [3Xindex[103X. So you should be careful with
  the choice of [3Xindex[103X.[133X

  [4X[32X[104X
  
  [33X[0;0YBy  default,  the  algorithm  computes no generating sets for the subgroups.

  [33X[0;0YIf  we  are interested just in one (proper) subgroup of index at most [22X10[122X, we

  [33X[0;0YThe  main  task  of the function [2XIsomorphismFpGroupByGenerators[102X is to find a
  presentation  of  [3XG[103X  in  the  provided  generators  [3Xgens[103X.  In  the case of a
  permutation group [3XG[103X it does this by first constructing a stabilizer chain of
  [3XG[103X  and  then  it  works  through  that  chain  from  the  bottom to the top,
  recursively  computing  a presentation for each of the involved stabilizers.
  The   method   used  is  essentially  an  implementation  of  John  Cannon's
  multi-stage  relations-finding  algorithm  as described in [Neu82] (see also
  [Can73]  for a more graph theoretical description). Moreover, it makes heavy
  use  of  Tietze  transformations  in each stage to avoid an explosion of the
  total length of the relators.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that because of the random methods involved in the construction of the
  stabilizer  chain  the  resulting  presentations  of  [3XG[103X  will  in general be
  different for repeated calls with the same arguments.[133X

  [33X[0;0YAlso    in   the   case   of   a   permutation   group   [3XG[103X,   the   function
  [2XIsomorphismFpGroupByGenerators[102X  supports  the option [10Xmethod[110X that can be used
  to modify the strategy. The option [10Xmethod[110X may take the following values.[133X
  
  [8X[10Xmethod := "regular"[110X[8X[108X
        [33X[0;6YThis  may  be  specified  for groups of small size, up to [22X10^5[122X say. It
        implies  that the function first constructs a regular representation [3XR[103X
        of  [3XG[103X and then a presentation of [3XR[103X. In general, this presentation will
        be  much  more concise than the default one, but the price is the time
        needed for the construction of [3XR[103X.[133X
  
  [8X[10Xmethod := [ "regular", bound ][110X[8X[108X
        [33X[0;6YThis  is a refinement of the previous possibility. In this case, [10Xbound[110X
        should  be  an  integer,  and  if so the method [10X"regular"[110X as described
        above  is applied to the largest stabilizer in the stabilizer chain of
        [3XG[103X  whose size does not exceed the given bound and then the multi-stage
        algorithm  is used to work through the chain from that subgroup to the
        top.[133X
  
  [8X[10Xmethod := "fast"[110X[8X[108X
        [33X[0;6YThis  chooses  an  alternative  method  which essentially is a kind of
        multi-stage  algorithm  for  a stabilizer chain of [3XG[103X but does not make
        any attempt do reduce the number of relators as it is done in Cannon's
        algorithm  or  to  reduce  their  total length. Hence it is often much
        faster  than the default method, but the total length of the resulting
        presentation may be huge.[133X
  
  [8X[10Xmethod := "default"[110X[8X[108X
        [33X[0;6YThis  simply means that the default method shall be used, which is the
        case if the option [10Xmethod[110X is not given a value.[133X

  [33X[0;0YThough  the  option  [10Xmethod  :=  "regular"[110X  is only checked in the case of a
  permutation  group  it  also  affects the performance and the results of the
  function  [2XIsomorphismFpGroupByGenerators[102X  for other groups, e. g. for matrix
  groups. This happens because, for these groups, the function first calls the
  function  [2XNiceMonomorphism[102X  ([14X40.5-2[114X)  to get a bijective action homomorphism
  from  [3XG[103X to a suitable permutation group, [22XP[122X say, and then, recursively, calls
  itself for the group [22XP[122X so that now the option becomes relevant.[133X

  exponent-[22Xp[122X  central  series  of  [3XF[103X.  If the parameter [3Xc[103X is present, then the
  factor  group modulo the [22X(c+1)[122X-th term of the exponent-[22Xp[122X central series of [3XF[103X
  is returned. If [3Xc[103X is not present, then the algorithm attempts to compute the
  largest  factor  [3Xp[103X-group  of  [3XF[103X.  In  case  [3XF[103X does not have a largest factor
  [3Xp[103X-group, the algorithm will not terminate.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YBy  default  the algorithm computes only with factor groups of order at most
  [22Xp^256[122X.  If  the  parameter  [3Xlogord[103X  is  present, it will compute with factor
  groups  of  order at most [22Xp^[3Xlogord[103X[122X. If this parameter is specified, then the
  parameter [3Xc[103X must also be given. The present implementation produces an error
  message   if   the   order  of  a  [22Xp[122X-quotient  exceeds  [22Xp^256[122X  or  [22Xp^[3Xlogord[103X[122X,
  respectively.  Note  that  the  order of intermediate [22Xp[122X-groups may be larger
  than the final order of a [22Xp[122X-quotient.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  parameter  [3Xctype[103X  determines  the  type  of  collector that is used for
  computations  within  the  factor  [3Xp[103X-group. [3Xctype[103X must either be [10X"single"[110X in
  which  case  a  simple collector from the left is used or [10X"combinatorial"[110X in
  which case a combinatorial collector from the left is used.[133X

  [1X47.16 [33X[0;0YTesting Finiteness of Finitely Presented Groups[133X[101X
  
  [33X[0;0YAs  a  consequence  of  the  algorithmic  insolvabilities  mentioned  in the
  introduction  to  this  chapter,  there cannot be a general method that will
  test whether a given finitely presented group is actually finite.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YTherefore  testing  the  finiteness  of  a  finitely  presented group can be
  problematic.  What [5XGAP[105X actually does upon a call of [2XIsFinite[102X ([14X30.4-2[114X) (or if
  it is –probably implicitly– asked for a faithful permutation representation)
  is  to test whether it can find (via coset enumeration) a cyclic subgroup of
  finite  index.  If  it  can,  it rewrites the presentation to this subgroup.
  Since  the  subgroup  is  cyclic,  its  size  can be checked easily from the
  resulting  presentation,  the  size of the whole group is the product of the
  index  and the subgroup size. Since however no bound for the index of such a
  subgroup  (if any exist) is known, such a test might continue unsuccessfully
  until memory is exhausted.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YOn  the other hand, a couple of methods exist, that might prove that a group
  is infinite. Again, none is guaranteed to work in every case:[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  first  method  is  to  find  (for  example via the low index algorithm,
  see [2XLowIndexSubgroupsFpGroup[102X  ([14X47.10-1[114X))  a  subgroup  [22XU[122X such that [22X[U:U'][122X is
  infinite.    If   [22XU[122X   has   finite   index,   this   can   be   checked   by
  [2XIsInfiniteAbelianizationGroup[102X ([14X47.16-1[114X).[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote   that   this   test  has  been  done  traditionally  by  checking  the
  [2XAbelianInvariants[102X      ([14X39.16-1[114X)      (see      section [14X47.15[114X)     of     [22XU[122X,
  [2XIsInfiniteAbelianizationGroup[102X ([14X47.16-1[114X) does a similar calculation but stops
  as  soon  as  it  is  known  whether [22X0[122X is an invariant without computing the
  actual values. This can be notably faster.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YAnother  method  is  based on [22Xp[122X-group quotients, see [2XNewmanInfinityCriterion[102X
  ([14X47.16-2[114X).[133X

  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XIsInfiniteAbelianizationGroup[102X( [3XG[103X ) [32X property[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Yreturns  true if the commutator factor group [22X[3XG[103X/[3XG[103X'[122X is infinite. This might be
  done without computing the full structure of the commutator factor group.[133X
  
  [1X47.16-2 NewmanInfinityCriterion[101X
  
  [33X[1;0Y[29X[2XNewmanInfinityCriterion[102X( [3XG[103X, [3Xp[103X ) [32X function[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YLet  [3XG[103X be a finitely presented group and [3Xp[103X a prime that divides the order of
  the  commutator  factor  group  of  [3XG[103X.  This  function  applies  an infinity
  criterion  due  to M. F. Newman [New90] to [3XG[103X. (See [Joh97, chapter 16] for a
  more  explicit  description.)  It  returns [9Xtrue[109X if the criterion succeeds in
  proving that [3XG[103X is infinite and [9Xfail[109X otherwise.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNote  that  the criterion uses the number of generators and relations in the
  presentation  of [3XG[103X. Reduction of the presentation via Tietze transformations
  ([2XIsomorphismSimplifiedFpGroup[102X   ([14X47.12-1[114X))   therefore   might   produce  an
  isomorphic group, for which the criterion will work better.[133X
