SolvedLet $F$ be a
$\qquad$ a) free;
$\qquad$ b) free metabelian
group of finite rank. Let $M$ denote the set of all endomorphisms of $F$ with non-cyclic images. Can one choose two elements $g, h \in F$ such that, for every $\varphi, \psi \in M$, equalities $\varphi(g) = \psi(g)$ and $\varphi(h) = \psi(h)$ imply that $\varphi = \psi$, that is, the endomorphisms in $M$ are uniquely determined by their values at $g$ and $h$?
Progress
a) Yes, one can (D. Lee, J. Algebra, 247 (2002), no. 2, 509–540).
b) No, not always (E. I. Timoshenko, Math. Notes, 62, no. 5–6 (1998), 767–770).
