چکیده
The set of finitely generated subgroups of the group PL+(I) of orientation-preserving piecewiselinear homeomorphisms of the unit interval includes many important groups, most notably R. Thompson’s group F . In this paper we show that every finitely generated subgroup G < PL+(I) is either soluble, or contains an embedded copy of Brin’s group B, a finitely generated, non-soluble group, which verifies a conjecture of the first author from 2009. In the case that G is soluble, we show that the derived length of G is bounded above by the number of G-orbit classes of the breakpoints of any finite set of generators. Finally, we specify a set of ‘computable’ subgroups of PL+(I) (which includes R. Thompson’s group F ) and we give an algorithm which determines in finite time whether or not any given finite subset X of such a computable group generates a soluble group. When the group is soluble, the algorithm also determines the derived length of 〈X〉.
