Abstract

Let Uq{\mathbf U}_q^- be the negative half of a quantum group of finite type. Let PP be the transition matrix between the canonical basis and a PBW basis of Uq{\mathbf U}_q^-. In the case Uq{\mathbf U}_q^- is symmetric, Antor gave a simple algorithm of computing PP by making use of monomial bases. By the folding theory, Uq{\mathbf U}_q^- (symmetric, with a certain automorphism) is related to a quantum group Uq\underline{{\mathbf U}}_q^- of non-symmetric type. In this paper, we extend the results of Antor to the non-symmetric case, and discuss the relationship between the algorithms for Uq{\mathbf U}_q^- and for Uq\underline{\mathbf U}_q^-.
