Liam Naughton and Götz Pfeiffer,
The subgroup pattern of a finite groupsG is the table of marks ofG together with a list of representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups ofG . In this article we present an algorithm for the computation of the subgroup pattern of a cyclic extension ofG from the subgroup pattern ofG . Repeated application of this algorithm yields an algorithm for the computation of the table of marks of a solvable groupG , along a composition series ofG .
