There are well known necessary conditions for the existence of a generalized Bhaskar Rao design over a group $\mathbb{G}$, with block size $k=3$. We prove that they are sufficient for nilpotent groups $\mathbb{G}$ of even order, and in particular for $2$-groups. In addition, we prove that they are sufficient for semi-dihedral groups.

By an FGDRP$(3,g^u)$, we mean a uniform frame $(X,\cal G,\cal A)$ of block size 3, index 2 and type $g^u$, where the blocks of $\cal{A}$ can be arranged into a $gu/3\times gu$ array. This array has the properties: (1) the main diagonal consists of $u$ empty subarrays of sizes $g/3\times g$; (2) the blocks in each column form a partial parallel class partitioning $X \setminus G$ for some $G\in \cal G$, while the blocks in each row contain every element of $X \setminus G$ $3$ times and no element of $G$ for some $G\in \cal{G}$. The obvious necessary conditions for the existence of an FGDRP$(3,g^u)$ are $u\geq 5$ and $g\equiv 0$ (mod 3). In this paper, we show that these conditions are also sufficient with the possible exceptions of $(g,u)\in \{(6,15),(9,18),(9,28),(9,34),(30,15)\}$.

AbstractIn this paper we study affine completeness of generalised dihedral groups. We give a formula for the number of unary compatible functions on these groups, and we characterise for every k ∈ N the k-affine complete generalised dihedral groups. We find that the direct product of a 1-affine complete group with itself need not be 1-affine complete. Finally, we give an example of a nonabelian solvable affine complete group. For nilpotent groups we find a strong necessary condition for 2-affine completeness.

A connected graph ? of even order is n-extendable, if it contains a matching of size n and if every such matching is contained in a perfect matching of ?. Furthermore, a connected graph ? of odd order is n1/2-extendable, if for every vertex v of ? the graph ? - v is n-extendable. It is proved that every connected Cayley graph of an abelian group of odd order which is not a cycle is 1 1/2-extendable. This result is then used to classify 2-extendable connected Cayley graphs of generalized dihedral groups.

Let G be a group and α ϵ Aut(G).  An α-commutator of elements x, y ϵ G is defined as [x, y]α = x-1y-1xyα. In 2015, Barzegar et al. introduced an α-commutator of elements of G and defined a new generalization of nilpotent groups by using the definition of α-commutators which is called an α-nilpotent group. They also introduced an α-commutator subgroup of G, denoted by Dα(G) which is a subgroup generated by all α-commutators. In 2016, an α-perfect group, a group that is equal to its α-commutator subgroup, was introduced by authors of this paper and the properties of such group was investigated. They proved some results on α-perfect abelian groups and showed that a cyclic group G of even order is not α-perfect for any α ϵ Aut(G). In this paper, we may continue our investigation on α-perfect groups and in addition to studying the relative perfectness of some classes of finite p-groups, we provide an example of a non-abelian α-perfect 2-group.

Let G be a nilpotent group with finite abelian ranks (e.g. let G be a finitely generated nilpotent group) and suppose φ is an automorphism of G of finite order m. If γ and ψ denote the associated maps of G given by \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\gamma :g \mapsto g^{ - 1} \cdot g\phi and \psi :g \mapsto g \cdot g\phi \cdot g\phi ^2 \cdots \cdot \cdot g\phi ^{m - 1} for g \in G,$$ \end{document} then Gγ · kerγ and Gψ · ker ψ are both very large in that they contain subgroups of finite index in G.
