A central problem in the theory of torsion-free Abelian groups is to determine when a torsion-free group can be embedded as a pure subgroup in a completely decomposable group (i.e. a direct sum of rational groups). The authors [in Models, modules and Abelian groups. In memory of A. L. S. Corner. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter. 169-186 (2008; Zbl 1191.20061)] provide an algorithm which can be applied to a large class of torsion-free groups in order to decide if such a group is a pure subgroup of a completely decomposable group. In the present paper they continue this study, improving the above mentioned algorithm. As a main result (Theorem 5.7) they provide sufficient conditions which are expressed using standard tools from linear algebra. The paper also contains some very interesting and illuminating examples.
