Abstract

Given a finite group GG. The generating pair (H,a)(H,a) of GG, that is, H<GH<G and aGa\in G such that a,H=G\langle a,H\rangle=G. In this paper, we introduce the definition of FF-subgroup to characterize the generating pairs of the symmetric groups, alternating groups and projective groups PSL(2,q)PSL(2,q). This gives a partial answer to an open problem of J. Andr\'e and J. Ara\'ujo and P. J. Cameron.
