We propose an algorithm that recognizes relatively hyperbolic groups from a compatible relative presentation, and even from an arbitrary finite presentation when the parabolic subgroups are abelian. Moreover, it computes important characteristic features such as the hyperbolicity constant of the coned‐off Cayley graph. This tool allows us to unify solutions to decision problems for individual groups in the class of relatively hyperbolic groups with abelian parabolics, into a unique solution suitable for every group in the class.
