    Abstract

    © 2015 by De Gruyter 2015. We give an algorithm which computes a presentation for a subgroup, denoted AMg,p,1, of the automorphism group of a free group. It is known that AMg,p,1 is isomorphic to the mapping class group of an orientable genus-g surface with p punctures and one boundary component. We define a variation of the Auter space.
