Abstract

Let G be a finitely generated solvable-by-finite linear group. We present an algorithm to compute the torsion-free rank of G and a bound on the Prüfer rank of G. This yields in turn an algorithm to decide whether a finitely generated subgroup of G has finite index. The algorithms are implemented in Magma for groups over algebraic number fields.
