Abstract

We discuss time complexity of the Conjugacy Problem in HNN-extensions of groups, in particular, in Miller's groups. We show that for "almost all", in some explicit sense, elements, the Conjugacy Problem is decidable in cubic time. It is worth noting that the Conjugacy Problem in a Miller group may be undecidable. Our results show that "hard" instances of the problem comprise a negligibly small part of the group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
