We show that the normal nilpotent subgroups of certain solvable groups are compactly generated. A solvable group which satisfies a maximal condition on closed normal subgroups is compactly generated.

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 37, No. 1 (Jan., 1973), pp. 22-28 (7 pages) Let G = (A * B; U) be the free product of A and B with the subgroup U amalgamated. Various conditions ...

The identification of subgroups of patients from randomized clinical trials that are of specific interest for guiding clinical decisions can be an attractive idea; however, since such trials are ...
