The concept of length functions on groups was first introduced by Lyndon [1]. Subsequently many other researchers worked in this field which resulted in adding further axioms in connection to the original axioms set by Lyndon. These new axioms additional axioms and conditions enabled the other researchers to achieve remarkable new results or to give direct proofs of many other cases. This procedure has given motivation to the researchers to enter new domains within the field of Combinatorial Group Theory.
