Abstract

Let G be a finite p-group. Assume that \(\nu (G)\) and \(\nu _c(G)\) denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups and non-normal cyclic subgroups of G, respectively. In this paper, we completely classify the finite p-groups with \(\nu _c=p\) or \(p+1\) for an odd prime number p. Also, we classify the groups G with \(\nu (G)=\nu _c(G)=p^i, i\ge 1\).
