On the Vertex Separation of Maximal Outerplanar Graphs

We investigate the NP-complete problem Vertex Separation (VS) on Maximal Outerplanar Graphs (mops). We formulate and prove a “main theorem for mops”, a necessary and sufficient condition for the vertex separation of a mop being k. The main theorem reduces the vertex separation of mops to a special kind of stretchability, one that we call affixability, of submops.

Groups with Decomposable Set of Quasinormal Subgroups

A subgroup H of a group G is said to be quasinormal if HX = XH for all subgroups X of G. In this article groups are characterized for which the partially ordered set of quasinormal subgroups is decomposable.

Groups with the Minimal Condition on Non-“Nilpotent-by-Finite” Subgroups

We characterize the groups which do not have non-trivial perfect sections and such that any strictly descending chain of non-“nilpotent-by-finite” subgroups is finite.
