Permutabilitäten kleiner endlicher Gruppen

Abstract. Given a group G, let P(n) be the property that for all x1,...,xn in G there exists a product of these elements in a permuted order which is equal to (the non-permuted poduct) x1...xn. Now defined P(G) to be the minimal n for which G possesses the property P(n) but not P(n-1). We present results on the (highly non-trivial) computation of P(G), in particular for groups G of order up to 20.
