Abstract
SynopsisSmall cancellation theory has been extended to symmetrized subsets of free products, amalgamated free products and Higman-Neumann-Neumann (H.N.N.) extensions. We though that it was possible to obtain results on decision problems if we could define small cancellation conditions for finite subsets.Sacerdote and Schupp (1974) defined the small cancellation condition C'(l/6) for symmetrized subsets of an H.N.N. extension. We define this condition for finite subsets, with the following properties:For each finite subset X, there is a symmetrized subset X1 with the same normal closure and, if X1 satisfies C'(l/6), then X satisfies C'(l/6).For some H.N.N. extensions, we can decide whether any finite subset satisfies C'(l/6), and, in this case, we can solve the word problem for the corresponding quotient.
