Dedicated to Professor S. Naimpally on the occasion of his 70 th birthday.Abstract. Following [22] we study the class S of all groups that admit a small set of generators. Here we adopt also another notion of smallness (P -small) introduced by Prodanov in the case of abelian groups. We push further some results obtained in [22] (by adding some new members of S) and partially resolve an open question posed in [22]. We show that in most cases the groups in S admit a P -small set of generators.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
