Jan 12, 2017 at 14:10 comment added Mare The GAP package QPA ( math.ntnu.no/~oyvinso/QPA) can actually do this (decomposition into indecomposables and testing isomorphism) for finite fields at the moment and it is planned to extent this to finite field extensions over Q.

Feb 11, 2012 at 11:20 comment added Christian Stump Thanks for the comments. I was thinking of the case where everything is finite and we are in characteristic 0.

Feb 10, 2012 at 19:34 comment added Bruce Westbury The first question is ambiguous. Do you want to find to find the composition facors of a representation or the decomposition into indecomposables. In any case, if you are working with finite dimensional representations over a field then the answer to all these questions is: Yes, an algorithm exists.
Feb 10, 2012 at 17:28 comment added Florian Eisele Well, unless you make some restriction on the shape of the quiver, the term "quiver representation" is just as general as "representation of an associative algebra". If you work over a finite field, your quiver is finite (resp. your algebra is finitely generated) and your modules are of finite dimension, then MAGMA can do a lot of those computations (e.g. indecomposable direct summands, composition series, isomorphism checking...).
