摘要
This paper discusses upper bounds on the minimal number of elements d(G) required to generate a transitive permutation group G, in terms of its degree n, and its order vertical bar G vertical bar. In particular, we reduce a conjecture of L. Pyber on the number of subgroups of the symmetric group Sym(n). We also prove that our bounds are best possible. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
