We are designing this program to work with the exact presentation:
G = < a , b ; abaBAB , AAbbb >
where lower case letters are generators and uppercase letters are
their inverses. This presentation is known to be trivial. That is,
it is known to be exactly:
F = < a , b ; >
We are given 12 transformations. Each transformation specifies a
way to rewrite the two relators. If the first relator is called x,
its inverse is X,
the second relator is called y,
and its inverse is Y
then we have the Andrews-Curtis Transformations:
T1: x -> xy ; y -> y
- T2: x -> X ; y -> y
- T3: x -> axA ; y -> y
- T4: x -> x ; y -> yx
- T5: x -> x ; y -> Y
- T6: x -> x ; y -> ayA
- T7: x -> bxB ; y -> y
- T8: x -> x ; y -> byB
- T9: x -> Axa ; y -> y
- T10: x -> x ; y -> Aya
- T11: x -> Bxb ; y -> y
- T12: x -> x ; y -> Byb
