The commutativity degree of 3-engel groups up to order 40

Friedrich Engel has discovered Engel groups in the 50s in Germany. The origin of this group lies in the theory of Lie algebras. As an example, one of the basic classical results for Engel Lie algebras is Engel’s theorem. In this research, the 3- Engel groups of order up to 40 will be the main focus....
