Ángel García-Blázquez, Ángel del Río: A classification of metacyclic groups by group invariants, 209-233

Abstract:

We obtain a new classification of the finite metacyclic groups in terms of group invariants. We present an algorithm to compute these invariants, and hence to decide if two given finite metacyclic groups are isomorphic, and another algorithm which computes all the metacyclic groups of a given order. A GAP implementation of these algorithms is given.

Key Words: Finite groups, metacyclic groups.
