Abstract
We consider several algorithmic problems concerning geodesics in finitely generated groups. We show that the three geodesic problems considered by Miasnikov et al. are polynomial-time reducible to each other. We study two new geodesic problems which arise in a previous paper of the authors and Fusy.
Keywords.: Word problem; geodesic problems
