Dear Gap Forum,

I am looking for an algorithm(s) that would enumerate
a permutation group (from a set of genrators) such
that each element of the
group is represented as a product of the disjoint permutations
(which would be from the set of the generators).

That is if each element pi of the group G is represented as
pi = g1*g2* ... gr ,
(where r is clearly a polynomial in the degree of the group),

then g1,g2, .. gr are mutually disjoint.

Here the size of set of generators could be a polynomial in r.
Clearly, it is not important whether the generators are strong are not.

Hope to receive some references in this direction.

Thanking you all.
