## Problem

Is the uniform subgroup membership problem decidable for (finitely generated free)-by-cyclic groups? That is, for a fixed group G = Fn ⋊ Z, is there an algorithm that, given elements w, h1,..., hk ∈ G, decides whether or not w belongs to the subgroup H = ⟨h1,..., hk ⟩? This is Kourovka Notebook Problem \(21.62\).
