Endo-Twisted Conjugacy and Outer Fixed Points in Solvable Baumslag--Solitar Groups

In this article, we solve the twisted conjugacy problem with respect to endomorphisms for solvable Baumslag--Solitar groups $BS(1,n)$, i.e., we propose an algorithm which, given two elements $u,v \in BS(1,n)$ and an endomorphism $ψ\in End(BS(1,n))$, decides whether $v=(xψ)^{-1} u x$ for some $x\in BS(1,n)$. Also, we connect the outer fixed points of a given endomorphism $ψ$ with $φ$-twisted conjugacy problem for two words $u, v \in BS(1,n)$, where $φ\in End(BS(1,n))$ and $u, v$ depend on $ψ$. Furthermore, we define the weakly (outer) fixed points and discuss its interplay with the endo-twisted conjugacy problem in $BS(1, n)$.
