Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 21 (2009) no. 2, pp. 467-489.

Nous présentons un algorithme pour calculer un domaine de Dirichlet pour un groupe Fuchsien Γ, avec aire cofinie. Comme conséquence, nous calculons les invariants de Γ, ainsi qu’une présentation finie explicite pour Γ.

We exhibit an algorithm to compute a Dirichlet domain for a Fuchsian group Γ with cofinite area. As a consequence, we compute the invariants of Γ, including an explicit finite presentation for Γ.
