The Sardinas–Patterson algorithm is a procedure used in computer science and mathematics for determining the solvability of a word problem in free groups and, more generally, in certain algebraic structures. Specifically, it's a method that helps decide whether a given set of equations over free groups has a solution in that group. ### Overview The algorithm works by analyzing a set of words (or strings) representing elements of a free group.
