Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to some computational techniques which have proved useful in the study of large permutation groups. In particular they have been used to study the Suzuki simple group of degree 1782 and order 448,345,497,600 and the simple group G2(5) of order 5,859,000,000 in a representation of degree 3906. Many of the algorithms discussed here are still in a developmental state and no claim is made that the most efficient solutions have been found.
