Compressed Decision Problems in Hyperbolic Groups

Authors: Derek Holt, Markus Lohrey, and Saul Schleimer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 126, 36th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2019)

Abstract

We prove that the compressed word problem and the compressed simultaneous conjugacy problem are solvable in polynomial time in hyperbolic groups. In such problems, group elements are input as words defined by straight-line programs defined over a finite generating set for the group. We prove also that, for any infinite hyperbolic group G, the compressed knapsack problem in G is NP-complete.
