Abstract

For a finite noncyclic group GG, let \Cyc(G)\Cyc(G) be a set of elements aa of GG such that a,b\langle a,b\rangle is cyclic for each bb of GG. The noncyclic graph of GG is a graph with the vertex set G\Cyc(G)G\setminus \Cyc(G), having an edge between two distinct vertices xx and yy if x,y\langle x, y\rangle is not cyclic. In this paper, we classify all finite noncyclic groups whose noncyclic graphs are K1,nK_{1,n}-free, where 3n63\leq n\leq 6.
