Finite equilibrated groups

Extract
If H, K are subgroups of a group G, then HK is a subgroup of G if and only if HK = KH. This condition certainly holds if H ≤ NG(K) or K ≤ NG(H). But the majority of groups can also be expressed as HK, where neither H nor K is normal. In this paper we consider groups G for which no subgroup G1 can be expressed as the product of non-normal subgroups of G1. Such a group is said to be equilibrated. Thus G is equilibrated if and only if either H ≤ NG(K) or K ≤ NG(H) whenever H, K and HK are subgroups of G.
