Abstract

Let HSnH \leq S_n be an intransitive group with orbits Ω1,Ω2,,Ωk\Omega_1, \Omega_2, \ldots ,\Omega_k. Then certainly HH is a subdirect product of the direct product of its projections on each orbit, HΩ1×HΩ2××HΩkH|_{\Omega_1} \times H|_{\Omega_2} \times \ldots \times H|_{\Omega_k}. Here we provide a polynomial time algorithm for computing the finest partition PP of the HH-orbits such that H=cPHcH = \prod_{c \in P} H|_c and demonstrate its usefulness in some applications.
