Abstract

In this paper, we consider which lens spaces are obtainable by Dehn surgery described by Berge on doubly primitive knots. An algorithm is given to decide whether a given lens space is obtainable by such a surgery. Also included is a complete characterization of such surgeries yielding lens spaces with Klein bottles.
