Abstract

We describe a new type of polycyclic presentations, that we will call refined solvable presentations, for polycyclic groups. These presentations are obtained by refining a series of normal subgroups with abelian sections. These presentations can be described effectively by presentation maps which yield the basis data structure to define a polycyclic group in computer-algebra-systems like \scshape Gap or \scshape Magma. We study refined solvable presentations and, in particular, we obtain consistency criteria for them. This consistency implementation demonstrates that it is often faster than the existing methods for polycyclic groups.
