Abstract

Given a sequence g:g0,,gm{\bf g}: g_0,\ldots, g_{m}, in a finite group GG with g0=1Gg_0=1_G, let gˉ:gˉ0,,gˉm{\bf \bar g}: \bar g_0,\ldots, \bar g_{m}, be the sequence defined by gˉ0=1G\bar g_0=1_G and gˉi=gi11gi\bar g_i=g_{i-1}^{-1}g_i for 1im1\leq i \leq m. We say that GG is doubly sequenceable if there exists a sequence g{\bf g} in GG such that every element of GG appears exactly twice in each of g{\bf g} and gˉ{\bf \bar g}. If a group GG is abelian, odd, sequenceable, R-sequenceable, or terraceable, then GG is doubly sequenceable. In this paper, we show that if NN is an odd or sequenceable group and HH is an abelian group, then N×HN \times H is doubly sequenceable.
