Abstract:
For finite groups, we investigate both converse Lagrange theorem (CLT)
orders and supersolvable (SS) orders, and see that the latter form a
proper subset of the former. We focus on the difference between these
two sets of orders, reformulate the work of earlier authors
algorithmically, and construct a computer program to enumerate such
NSS-CLT orders. We establish several results relating to NSS and CLT
orders and, working from our computer-generated data, propose a pair of
conjectures and obtain a complete characterization of the most common
form of NSS-CLT order.
