Abstract
The aim of this article is to show an induction argument to obtain the double coset decomposition \(H\backslash G/L\) of a real reductive Lie group G with respect to reductive absolutely spherical subgroups H and L. As an application, we describe generic double cosets with some exceptions. The exceptions for our approach come from some factorizations of type \({\text {D}}_{4}\)-groups.
