Extract
Mennicke (2) has given a class of three-generator, three-relation finite groups. In this paper we present a further class of three-generator, threerelation groups which we show are finite.
The groups presented are defined as:
with α|γ| ≠ 1, β|γ| ≠ 1, γ ≠ 0.
We prove the following result.
THEOREM 1. Each of the groups presented is a finite soluble group.
We state the following theorem proved by Macdonald (1).
THEOREM 2. G1(α, β, 1) is a finite nilpotent group.
1. In this section we make some elementary remarks.
