Seminormal subgroup

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a subgroup $A$ of a group $G$ is termed seminormal if there is a subgroup $B$ such that $AB=G$ , and for any proper subgroup $C$ of $B$ , $AC$ is a proper subgroup of $G$ .

This definition of seminormal subgroups is due to Xiang Ying Su.^[1]^[2]

Every normal subgroup is seminormal. For finite groups, every quasinormal subgroup is seminormal.
