Abstract

We introduce a method on how to decide solvebility of quadratic equations in self-similar groups and use this method to show that certain equations always have a solution. In particular the group of tree automorphisms and the Neumann-Segal groups have commutator witdth one. The Grigorchuk group and the Gupta Sidki group have commutator width at most two.
