Finite groups with 4p2q elements of maximal order

It is an interesting and difficult topic to determine the structure of a finite group by the number of elements of maximal order. This topic is related to Thompson’s conjecture, that is, if two finite groups have the same order type and one of them is solvable, then the other is solvable. In this ar...
