Abstract
The well-known effective homology method provides algorithms computing homology groups of spaces. The main idea consists in keeping systematically a deep and subtle connection between the homology of any object and the object itself. Nowapplying similar ideas to the computation of homotopy groups,we aim to develop a new effective homotopy theory which allows one to determine homotopy groups of spaces. In this work we introduce the notion of a solution for the homotopical problem of a simplicial set, which will be the main definition of our theory, and present an algorithm computing the effective homotopy of a fibration. We also illustrate with examples some applications of our results. © Springer-Verlag 2012.
