Abstract
Given a finite group , let denote the set of all primes that divide the order of . For a prime , we define -singular elements as those elements of whose order is divisible by . Denote by the number of -singluar elements of . We denote the proportion of -singular elements in by . Let be the set of all proportions of -singular elements for each prime in . In this paper, we prove that if a finite group has the same set as the simple group , then is isomorphic to .
