In this paper we describe briefly computer programmes for the algorithm and the modified algorithm, and illustrate how the modified algorithm may be extended to subgroups of countable index.\u0000 We then describe some methods that enable us to obtain more information from a coset enumeration programme when space is limited. To illustrate these techniques we investigate a class of cyclically presented groups. We first state some theorems concerning this class. Using the computational techniques described earlier, we then discuss in some detail the structure of some of the particular groups involved.\u0000 The paper arises out of joint work with E. F.

The problem domain we are concerned with is that of the theory of discrete groups and related structures. In 1971, Neübuser in Aachen and Cannon in Sydney, commenced the development of a general purpose group theory system called GROUP, the great majority of which is coded in ANSI Standard FORTRAN. For a discussion of the group theory algorithms planned for the system see Cannon [1].\u0000 Two driver languages are planned, Galois, a language with explicit type declarations intended for batch processing, and Cayley, a language where types are determined at run time and hence suitable both for batch processing and interactive computing. An interpreter for Cayley has been implemented at Sydney for the CDC6000 and CYBER series machines. The interpreter is coded in ANSI Standard FORTRAN and experience indicates that the entire system (some 50,000 lines of FORTRAN at present) can be implemented on a new machine with less than 2 months programming effort.","PeriodicalId":314618,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115393587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to find terms involving only constants independent of the main variable, which when added to the given polynomial will result in a perfect square. As a typical example, (x<supscrpt>2</supscrpt> + 4x + 3) + 1 &equil; (x+2)<supscrpt>2</supscrpt>. The method for completing the square such as this one is often nothing more than applying the pattern matching abilities of students to the problem knowing the pattern (x+y)<supscrpt>2</supscrpt> &equil; x<supscrpt>2</supscrpt> + 2xy + y<supscrpt>2</supscrpt>. Here, we ask the question whether this problem can be generalized and whether there exists a constructive algorithm that replaces and extends the simple completion procedure of our high school days. The answer turns out to lie in the familiar process of computing polynomial remainder sequences (PRS) [Brown71].","PeriodicalId":314618,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123087725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, we will continue to get results which often are incomprehensibly lengthy and complicated. However, a user of computer-algebra systems need not abandon hope when faced with such results. Often the user is interested in qualitative properties of a result rather than details of an analytical representation of the result. For example, is the result real? bounded? even? continuous? positive? monotonic? differentiable? or convex? Where, if any, are the singularities, zeros, and extrema? What are their orders? What is the local behavior in the neighborhood of these notable features, as exhibited perhaps by series expansions? Are there simple asymptotic representations as certain variables approach infinity?\u0000 This paper describes a program which automatically analyzes expressions for some of these properties. The user may enquire about a specific property, such as monotonicity, or he may simply invoke a single function which attempts to determine all of the properties addressed by the collection of more specific functions. The specific functions are appropriate when a user knows which properties are important for his application, but frequently he is ignorant of the most decisive questions or ignorant of specific available functions which automatically investigate the desired properties. The collective qualitative analysis function is intended as a sort of panic button, which hopefully will provide some pleasantly surprising results that serve as a point of departure for further analysis. This function is a tool for deciphering unwieldy expressions that otherwise defy understanding.\u0000 Many of the above qualitative properties have numerous testable characterizations, and only a few have been explored here. However, the results of this initial effort indicate that qualitative analysis programs are a promising means of extending the utility of computer algebra.","PeriodicalId":314618,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122718911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second, more sophisticated, style requires that the table be defined strictly through a generation scheme. In either case the table may be available to the user as a data structure exclusive of the function definition with entries still being manifested only when they are actually used.","PeriodicalId":314618,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124662161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
