| Abstract: | AbstractLet λ(G) be the maximum number of subgroups in an irredundant covering of the finite group G. We prove that if G is a group with λ(G) ≤ 6, then G is supersolvable. We also describe the structure of groups G with λ(G) = 6. Moreover, we show that if G is a group with λ(G)?G is solvable. |
