The Gpd package for GAP4 provides functions for the computation with groupoids (categories with every arrow invertible) and their morphisms; for graphs of groups, and graphs of groupoids. The most basic structure introduced is that of magma with objects, followed by semigroup with objects, then monoid with objects and finally groupoid which is a group with objects.
It provides normal forms for Free Products with Amalgamation and for HNN-extensions when the initial groups have rewrite systems and the subgroups have finite index.
The Gpd package was originally implemented in 2000 (as GraphGpd) when the first author was studying for a Ph.D. in Bangor.
Version 1.07 was released in July 2011, to be tested with GAP 4.5. Version 1.15 came out with the first release of GAP 4.5 in June 2012, and was submitted for official acceptance as a GAP package. Gpd became an accepted GAP package in May 2015 (even though the referee's comments are still being addressed). The latest version is 1.34 of 5th June 2015, prepared for GAP 4.7.
Recent versions implement many of the constructions described in the paper [AW10] for automorphisms of groupoids.
Bug reports, suggestions and comments are, of course, welcome. Please contact the second author at c.d.wensley@bangor.ac.uk.
