1. Introduction. In this paper we develop a method to find all the irreducible and inequivalent representations over the complex field C of a family of finite groups that includes the metabelian groups. The outline of the paper is as follows: In §2 we let P be a one-dimensional representation of a subgroup H of a finite group G and find a maximal subgroup K, H ⊆ K ⊆ G, such that an extension P̅ of P to K exists. We show that the induced representation P̅G is irreducible if K is normal in G. In §3 we give all the irreducible and inequivalent representations of the “generalized metabelian group” G, and in particular of the metabelian group, and decompose the group ring CG into its simple components. The convenience of this method is shown in §4 where we determine the representations of the metacyclic group and a metabelian group of order 2sp2, p an odd prime and s|p — l. The algorithm in §5 is supplementary and can be used to find representations of more general groups than the two in §4.
