Finite groups with 24 elements of maximal order

Abstract

It is an interesting topic to determine the structure of a finite group with a given number of elements of maximal order. In this article, we classify finite groups with 24 elements of maximal order.

Key words： Finite group; classification; number of elements of maximal order; Thompson’s Problem
