For instance, say $G = \langle x , y \ | \ x^{12}y=yx^{18} \rangle$. I want to know what is the normal closure of $y$ in $G$.

In general, what are the standard approaches to compute the normal closure of a subset of a finitely presented group? Are there algorithms?

    In general, the normal closure will not be finitely generated. In what sense do you want to "know" it?2010-10-09

    Well, the question is *in general*...2010-10-09

    @Mariano: If you know many senses, please let me know.2010-10-10
