Review text

Let \(G\) be a group of real Möbius transformations. If \(G\) is nondiscrete and nonelementary, Jorgensen has shown that \(G\) contains an elliptic element of infinite order. Using the discreteness algorithm of Gilman and Maskit, and the Selberg lemma about the existence of a torsion-free subgroup of finite index, the author gives an algorithm for finding an infinite-order elliptic transformation in a large class of two generator groups. This algorithm essentially produces a sequence of elliptic transformations, no two of which have the same finite order. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0879.00044].
