On non-normal cyclic subgroups of prime order or order 4 of finite groups

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we call a finite group G G an N L M NLM -group ( N C M NCM -group, respectively) if every non-normal cyclic subgroup of prime order or order 4 (prime power order, respectively) in G G is contained in a non-normal maximal subgroup of G G . Using the property of N L M NLM -groups and N C M NCM -groups, we give a new necessary and sufficient condition for G G to be a solvable T T -group (normality is a transitive relation), some sufficient conditions for G G to be supersolvable, and the classification of those groups whose all proper subgroups are N L M NLM -groups.
