We shall term a group G supersoluble if every homomorphic image H9*l of G contains a cyclic normal subgroup different from 1. Supersoluble groups with maximum condition, in particular finite supersoluble groups, have been investigated by various authors: Hirsch, Ore, Zappa and more recently Huppert and Wielandt. In the present note we want to establish the close connection between supersoluble ...

We study finite groups in which every maximal subgroup is supersoluble or normal. Our results answer some questions arising from papers of Asaad and Rose.

it is proved here that if $g$ is a locally graded group satisfying the minimal condition on subgroups which are not locally supersoluble, then $g$ is either locally supersoluble or a vcernikov group. the same conclusion holds for locally finite groups satisfying the weak minimal condition on non-(locally supersoluble) subgroups. as a consequence, it is shown that any infinite locally graded gro...
