[Math] Is there software to help with group presentation

group-presentationgroup-theorymath-software

I wrote a computer program that generates group presentations.

I would like to know the sizes of the resulting groups. I know that this is undecidable.

Are there good heuristic programs that can try to compute the size of a group given by generators and relations?

I am not interested in apporximating the size. Only in determining the exact size, when the software can do it, hopefully often in my cases.

You can use GAP as well. Regarding to what O.L gave you I am posting an example accordingly:

 gap> f:=FreeGroup("a","b");;
 gap> a:=f.1;;    b:=f.2;;
 gap> g:=f/[a^2,b^3,(a*b)^4];
 gap> Elements(g);;
 gap> Size(g)

If you be familiar to use this software, then you'll wish to use it in sleep even!! It is indeed a wonderful and of course a powerful tool.
