Strong generating set


In abstract algebra, especially in the area of group theory, a strong generating set of a permutation group is a generating set that clearly exhibits the permutation structure as described by a stabilizer chain. A stabilizer chain is a sequence of subgroups, each containing the next and each stabilizing one more point.

Let be a group of permutations of the set Let

be a sequence of distinct integers, such that the pointwise stabilizer of is trivial (i.e., let be a base for ). Define
