Combinatorial method in the coset enumeration of symmetrically generated groups

Published: 01 July 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Several finite groups, including all non-abelian finite simple groups, can be generated by finite conjugacy classes of involutions. We describe a coset enumeration algorithm that is particularly developed for a group defined in this manner. We illustrate the process by using some rather small examples for which the enumerations can be worked manually.
