In this paper, we investigate a class of 2-generator 2-relator groups G(n) related to the Fibonacci groups F(2,n), each of the groups in this new class also being defined by a single parameter n, though here n can take negative, as well as positive, values. If n is odd, we show that G(n) is a finite soluble group of derived length 2 (if n is coprime to 3) or 3 (otherwise), and order |2n(n + 2)gnf(n, 3)|, where fn is the Fibonacci number defined by f0=0,f1=1,fn+2=fn+fn+1 and gn is the Lucas number defined by g0 = 2, g1 = 1, gn+2 = gn + gn+1 for n≧0. On the other hand, if n is even then, with three exceptions, namely the cases n = 2,4 or –4, G(n) is infinite; the groups G(2), G(4) and G(–4) have orders 16, 240 and 80 respectively.

Mennicke (2) has given a class of three-generator, three-relation finite groups. In this paper we present a further class of three-generator, threerelation groups which we show are finite.The groups presented are defined as:with α|γ| ≠ 1, β|γ| ≠ 1, γ ≠ 0.We prove the following result.THEOREM 1. Each of the groups presented is a finite soluble group.We state the following theorem proved by Macdonald (1).THEOREM 2. G1(α, β, 1) is a finite nilpotent group.1. In this section we make some elementary remarks.

AbstractIn 1980, McCaughan and Stonehewer showed that a finite soluble group in which every subnormal subgroup has defect at most two has derived length at most nine and Fitting length at most five, and gave an example of derived length five and Fitting length four. In 1984 Casolo showed that derived length five and Fitting length four are best possible bounds.In this paper we show that for groups of odd order the bounds can be improved. A group of odd order with every subnormal subgroup of defect at most two has derived and Fitting length at most three, and these bounds are best possible.

In [1, Chapter 3, Section 2], we collected together results we had previously obtained relating to the question of which positive integers m were Lucasian, that is, factors of some Lucas number L n. We pointed out that the behaviors of odd and even numbers m were quite different. Thus, for example, 2 and 4 are both Lucasian but 8 is not; for the sequence of residue classes mod 8 of the Lucas numbers, n ⩾ 0, reads and thus does not contain the residue class 0*. On the other hand, it is a striking fact that, if the odd number s is Lucasian, then so are all of its positive powers.

Finite groups in which normality is transitive have been studied by Best and Taussky, [1], Gaschütz, [3], and Zacher [16]. Infinite soluble groups in which normality is transitive have been studied by Robinson in [9]. A subgroup H of a group G is subnormal in G if H can be connected to G by a chain of r subgroups, in which each is normal in its successor, where r is a non-negative integer. The least such r is called the subnormal index of H in G (or the defect of H in G). Then groups in which normality is transitive are precisely those in which every subnormal subgroup has subnormal index at most one. Thus the structure of soluble groups in which every subnormal subgroup has subnormal index at most n (such a group is said to have bounded subnormal indices) has been dealt with by Robinson in [9] for the case where n is one. However Theorem D of [12] states that a soluble group of derived length n can be embedded in a soluble group in which the subnormal indices are at most n. Therefore we must impose further conditions on the groups if we hope to obtain any worthwhile results for the above problem with n greater than one.

Foeplitz and Loeplitz matrices are Toeplitz matrices with entries being Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, respectively. In this paper, explicit expressions of determinants and inverse matrices of Foeplitz and Loeplitz matrices are studied. Specifically, the determinant of the n × n Foeplitz matrix is the ( n + 1 ) th Fibonacci number, while the inverse matrix of the n × n Foeplitz matrix is sparse and can be expressed by the nth and the ( n + 1 ) th Fibonacci number. Similarly, the determinant of the n × n Loeplitz matrix can be expressed by use of the ( n + 1 ) th Lucas number, and the inverse matrix of the n × n ( n > 3 ) Loeplitz matrix can be expressed by only seven elements with each element being the explicit expressions of Lucas numbers. Finally, several numerical examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of our new theoretical results.

Suppose that a finite soluble group G is the product AB of subgroups A and B. Our question is the following: what conclusions can be made about G if A and B are suitably restricted? First we shall prove that the p–length of G is restricted by the derived lengths of the Sylow p–subgroups of A and B, if A and B are p–closed and p′-closed. Moreover, if in such a group the Sylow p–subgroups of A and B are modular, the p–length of G is at most 1. Next we obtain a general estimate for the derived length of the group G = AB of odd order in terms of the derived lengths of A and B. Furthermore it will be possible to bound the nilpotent length of G and also the p–length of G in terms of other invariants of special subgroups of G.

For a soluble finite group [Formula: see text] and a prime [Formula: see text] we let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We obtain upper bounds for the rank, the nilpotent length, the derived length, and the [Formula: see text]-length of a finite soluble group [Formula: see text] in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

In the present study we investigate all repdigits which are expressed as a difference of two Fibonacci or Lucas numbers. We show that if $F_{n}-F_{m}$ is a repdigit, where $F_{n}$ denotes the $n$-th Fibonacci number, then $(n,m)\in \{(7,3),(9,1),(9,2),(11,1),(11,2),$ $(11,9),(12,11),(15,10)\}.$ Further, if $L_{n}$ denotes the $n$-th Lucas number, then $L_{n}-L_{m}$ is a repdigit for $(n,m)\in\{(6,4),(7,4),(7,6),(8,2)\},$ where $n>m.$Namely, the only repdigits that can be expressed as difference of two Fibonacci numbers are $11,33,55,88$ and $555$; their representations are $11=F_{7}-F_{3},\33=F_{9}-F_{1}=F_{9}-F_{2},\55=F_{11}-F_{9}=F_{12}-F_{11},\88=F_{11}-F_{1}=F_{11}-F_{2},\555=F_{15}-F_{10}$ (Theorem 2). Similar result for difference of two Lucas numbers: The only repdigits that can be expressed as difference of two Lucas numbers are $11,22$ and $44;$ their representations are $11=L_{6}-L_{4}=L_{7}-L_{6},\ 22=L_{7}-L_{4},\4=L_{8}-L_{2}$ (Theorem 3).

Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a class of finite groups and $G$ a finite group. Let ${\mathcal{L}}_{\mathfrak{F}}(G)$ be the set of all subgroups $A$ of $G$ with $A^{G}/A_{G}\in \mathfrak{F}$. A chief factor $H/K$ of $G$ is $\mathfrak{F}$-central in $G$ if $(H/K)\rtimes (G/C_{G}(H/K))\in \mathfrak{F}$. We study the structure of $G$ under the hypothesis that every chief factor of $G$ between $A_{G}$ and $A^{G}$ is $\mathfrak{F}$-central in $G$ for every subgroup $A\in {\mathcal{L}}_{\mathfrak{F}}(G)$. As an application, we prove that a finite soluble group $G$ is a PST-group if and only if $A^{G}/A_{G}\leq Z_{\infty }(G/A_{G})$ for every subgroup $A\in {\mathcal{L}}_{\mathfrak{N}}(G)$, where $\mathfrak{N}$ is the class of all nilpotent groups.

AbstractThe c-dimension of a group is the maximum length of a chain of nested centralizers. It is proved that a periodic locally soluble group of finite c-dimension k is soluble of derived length bounded in terms of k, and the rank of its quotient by the Hirsch–Plotkin radical is bounded in terms of k. Corollary: a pseudo-(finite soluble) group of finite c-dimension k is soluble of derived length bounded in terms of k.
