Abstract
Let be a subgroup of a group . We say that satisfies the power condition with respect to , or is a power subgroup of , if there exists a non-negative integer such that . In this note, the following theorem is proved: Let be a group and the number of non-power subgroups of . Then (1) if and only if is a cyclic group(theorem of F. Szsz) ;(2) if and only if is a finite non-cyclic group; (3) if and only if is a infinte non-cyclic group. Thus we get a new criterion for the finite non-cyclic groups.
