On three questions concerning groups with perfect order subsets

Lenny Jones and Kelly Toppin

Vol. 4 (2011), No. 3, 251–261
Abstract

In a finite group, an order subset is a maximal set of elements of the same order. We discuss three questions about finite groups G having the property that the cardinalities of all order subsets of G divide the order of G. We provide a new proof to one of these questions and evidence to support answers to the other two questions.
