Abstract

The kan package was originally implemented in 1997 using the GAP3 language, to compute induced actions of categories, when the first author was studying for a Ph.D. in Bangor.

This version only provides functions for the computation of normal forms of representatives of double cosets of finitely presented groups,

Bug reports, suggestions and comments are, of course, welcome. Please contact the second author at c.d.wensley@bangor.ac.uk.
