Definition
A Frobenius group is a finite group satisfying the following equivalent conditions:
- It possesses a Frobenius subgroup: a proper, nontrivial malnormal subgroup.
- It possesses a Frobenius kernel: a proper nontrivial complemented normal centrally closed subgroup.
- It can be expressed as the internal semidirect product of a Frobenius kernel (a centrally closed normal subgroup) and a Frobenius subgroup (a proper nontrivial malnormal subgroup).
