Abstract

In this paper we introduce a polynomial time algorithm that solves both the conjugacy decision and search problems in free abelian-by-innite cyclic groups where the input is elements in normal form. We do this by adapting the work of Bogopolski, Martino, Maslakova, and Ventura in [1] and Bogopolski, Martino, and Ventura in [2], to free abelian-by-innite cyclic groups, and in certain cases apply a polynomial time algorithm for the orbit problem over Zn by Kannan and Lipton [7].
