Dihedral and dicyclic groups are isoclinic
Statement
Suppose is an integer. Then, the following two groups are isoclinic groups:
- The dicyclic group of degree and order .
- The dihedral group of degree and order .
Further, if is odd, the nboth of these are also isoclinic to the dihedral group of degree and order .
Particular cases
