group with the maximum condition for subgroups
A group in which every strictly ascending chain of subgroups is finite. This class is named after E. Noether, who investigated rings with the maximum condition for ideals — Noetherian rings (cf. Noetherian ring). Subgroups and quotient groups of a Noetherian group are Noetherian. Examples have been constructed of Noetherian groups that are not finite extensions of polycyclic groups (cf. Polycyclic group) [1].
