On the minimum length of the chief series of finite, complete, solvable groups of odd order (Q797682)

The first examples of complete groups of odd order were given by \textit{R. S. Dark} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 77, 21-28 (1975; Zbl 0303.20018)] and \textit{M. V. Horoshevskij} [Algebra Logika 13, 63-76 (1974; Zbl 0291.20026)]. This paper provides information about the ''size'' of such groups. Specifically, the following theorems are proved: Theorem 1. The length of a chief series of a complete group of odd order is at least four. Theorem 2. Let G be a complete group of odd order with chief series length 4. Then \(G=HN\), for \(N\triangleleft G\), where N is a p-group and H a group of order q for distinct primes p and q.
