A Generalized Balanced Pair Algorithm

arXiv:math/0309194

Abstract

We present here a more general version of the balanced pair algorithm. This version works in the reducible case and terminates more often than the standard algorithm. We present examples to illustrate this point. Lastly, we discuss the features which lead to balanced pair algorithms not terminating and state several conjectures.
