We then show how they are useful in analyzing the solvability of the uniform subgroup membership problem for fundamental groups of graphs of groups. Applications include coherent right-angled Artin groups and coherent solvable groups.Final updated version, to appear in the International Journal of Algebra and ComputationGroup Theory20F10, 20F65Foldings, graphs of groups and the membership problemtext
