AbstractWe investigate the complexity of solving systems of polynomial equations over finite groups. In 1999 Goldmann and Russell showed $$\mathrm {NP}$$ NP -completeness of this problem for non-Abelian groups. We show that the problem can become tractable for some non-Abelian groups if we fix the number of equations. Recently, Földvári and Horváth showed that a single equation over groups which are semidirect products of a p-group with an Abelian group can be solved in polynomial time. We generalize this result and show that the same is true for systems with a fixed number of equations. This shows that for all groups for which the complexity of solving one equation has been proved to be in $$\mathrm {P}$$ P so far, solving a fixed number of equations is also in $$\mathrm {P}$$ P . Using the collecting procedure presented by Horváth and Szabó in 2006, we furthermore present a faster algorithm to solve systems of equations over groups of order pq.

We prove that the monodromy group of a reduced irreducible square system of general polynomial equations equals the symmetric group. This is a natural first step towards the Galois theory of general systems of polynomial equations, because arbitrary systems split into reduced irreducible ones upon monomial changes of variables. In particular, our result proves the multivariate version of the Abel–Ruffini theorem: the classification of general systems of equations solvable by radicals reduces to the classification of lattice polytopes of mixed volume 4 (which we prove to be finite in every dimension). We also notice that the monodromy of every general system of equations is either symmetric or imprimitive. The proof is based on a new result of independent importance regarding dual defectiveness of systems of equations: the discriminant of a reduced irreducible square system of general polynomial equations is a hypersurface unless the system is linear up to a monomial change of variables.

Problems in mechanisms analysis and synthesis and robotics lead naturally to systems of polynomial equations. This paper reviews the state of the art in the solution of such systems of equations. Three well-known methods for solving systems of polynomial equations, viz., Dialytic Elimination, Polynomial Continuation, and Grobner bases are reviewed. The methods are illustrated by means of simple examples. We also review important kinematic analysis and synthesis problems and their solutions using these mathematical procedures.

We provide a polynomial time algorithm for deciding the equation solvability problem over finite groups that are semidirect products of a [Formula: see text]-group and an Abelian group. As a consequence, we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for deciding the equivalence problem over semidirect products of a finite nilpotent group and a finite Abelian group. The key ingredient of the proof is to represent group expressions using a special polycyclic presentation of these finite solvable groups.

The commuting graph of a finite non-abelian group G with center Z(G), denoted by Γc(G), is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is G∖Z(G), and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy=yx. In this paper, we compute the common neighborhood spectrum of commuting graphs of several classes of finite non-abelian groups and conclude that these graphs are CN-integral.

In this paper, we initiate the study of spectrum of the commuting graphs of finite non-abelian groups. We first compute the spectrum of this graph for several classes of finite groups, in particular AC-groups. We show that the commuting graphs of finite non-abelian AC-groups are integral. We also show that the commuting graph of a finite non-abelian group G is integral if G is not isomorphic to the symmetric group of degree 4 and the commuting graph of G is planar. Further, it is shown that the commuting graph of G is integral if its commuting graph is toroidal.

AbstractLet G be a group such that, for any subgroup H of G, every automorphism of H can be extended to an automorphism of G. Such a group G is said to be of injective type. The finite abelian groups of injective type are precisely the quasi-injective groups. We prove that a finite non-abelian group G of injective type has even order. If, furthermore, G is also quasi-injective, then we prove that G = K × B, with B a quasi-injective abelian group of odd order and either K = Q8 (the quaternion group of order 8) or K = Dih(A), a dihedral group on a quasi-injective abelian group A of odd order coprime with the order of B. We give a description of the supersoluble finite groups of injective type whose Sylow 2-subgroup are abelian showing that these groups are, in general, not quasi-injective. In particular, the characterisation of such groups is reduced to that of finite 2-groups that are of injective type. We give several restrictions on the latter. We also show that the alternating group A5 is of injective type but that the binary icosahedral group SL(2, 5) is not.

We analyze the computational complexity of solving a single equation and checking identities over finite meta-abelian groups. Among others we answer a question of Goldmann and Russel from 1998: we prove that it is decidable in polynomial time whether or not an equation over the six-element group S3 has a solution.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite non-abelian group and [Formula: see text] be its center. For a fixed nonidentity element [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text]-noncommuting graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is a simple undirected graph in which its vertices are [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we discuss about connectivity of [Formula: see text] and determine all finite non-abelian groups such that their [Formula: see text]-noncommuting graphs are 1-planar, toroidal or projective.

The commuting graph of a finite non-abelian group G with center Z(G), denoted by Γc(G), is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is G∖Z(G), and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy=yx. Alwardi et al. (Bulletin, 2011, 36, 49-59) defined the common neighborhood matrix CN(G) and the common neighborhood energy Ecn(G) of a simple graph G. A graph G is called CN-hyperenergetic if Ecn(G)>Ecn(Kn), where n=|V(G)| and Kn denotes the complete graph on n vertices. Two graphs G and H with equal number of vertices are called CN-equienergetic if Ecn(G)=Ecn(H). In this paper we compute the common neighborhood energy of Γc(G) for several classes of finite non-abelian groups, including the class of groups such that the central quotient is isomorphic to group of symmetries of a regular polygon, and conclude that these graphs are not CN-hyperenergetic. We shall also obtain some pairs of finite non-abelian groups such that their commuting graphs are CN-equienergetic.
