A theorem of Burnside asserts that a finite group G is p -nilpotent if for some prime p a Sylow p -subgroup of G lies in the center of its normalizer. In this paper, let G be a finite group and p the smallest prime divisor of | G | , the order of G . Let P Syl p ( G ) . As a generalization of Burnside’s theorem, it is shown that if every non-cyclic p -subgroup of G is self-normalizing or normal in G then G is solvable. In particular, if P a , b | a p n - 1 = 1 , b 2 = 1 , b - 1 a b = a 1 + p n - 2 , where n 3 for p > 2 and n 4 for p = 2 , then G is p -nilpotent or p -closed.

AB - A theorem of Burnside asserts that a finite group $G$ is $p$-nilpotent if for some prime $p$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ lies in the center of its normalizer. In this paper, let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ the smallest prime divisor of $|G|$, the order of $G$. Let $P\in {\rm Syl}_p(G)$. As a generalization of Burnside’s theorem, it is shown that if every non-cyclic $p$-subgroup of $G$ is self-normalizing or normal in $G$ then $G$ is solvable. In particular, if $P\ncong \langle a,b\vert a^{p^{n-1}}=1,b^2=1, b^{-1}ab=a^{1+{p^{n-2}}}\rangle $, where $n\ge 3$ for $p>2$ and $n\ge 4$ for $p=2$, then $G$ is $p$-nilpotent or $p$-closed.
