Derived lengths of solvable groups having five irreducible character degrees. II. (Q698060)

For definitions, see the preceding review Zbl 1040.20004 of part I. Let \(G\) be a solvable group with \(|\text{cd}(G)|=5\). Suppose that there is some prime \(p\) so that \(G/O^p(G)\) is not Abelian. Also, assume that \(\text{cd}(G)\) contains a degree \(>1\) which is not a multiple of \(p\). Under these hypotheses, \(\text{dl}(G)\leq 4\). This result is best possible as Theorem 5.1 shows.
