Synopsis

We use programmes for the Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration algorithm and the modified Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration algorithm to investigate a class of generalised Fibonacci groups. In particular we use these techniques to discover a finite non-metacyclic Fibonacci group and to study its structure.
