Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. Then H is said to be S-quasinormal in G if HP = PH for all Sylow subgroups P of G. Let HsG be the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-quasinormal in G. Then we say that H is nearly S-quasinormal in G if G has an S-quasinormal subgroup T such that HT = G and T ∩ H ≤ HsG.
Our main result here is the following theorem. Let
be a saturated formation containing all supersoluble groups and G a group with a normal subgroup E such that
. Suppose that every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of E has a subgroup D such that 1 < |D| < |P| and all subgroups H of P with order |H| = |D| and every cyclic subgroup of P with order 4 (if |D| = 2 and P is a non-abelian 2-group) having no supersoluble supplement in G are nearly S-quasinormal in G. Then
