Let G be a finite group and let π ( G ) = { p 1 , p 2 , ... , p k } be the set of prime divisors of | G | for which p 1 < p 2 < ⋯ < p k . The Gruenberg-Kegel graph of G , denoted GK ( G ) , is defined as follows: its vertex set is π ( G ) and two different vertices p i and p j are adjacent by an edge if and only if G contains an element of order p i p j . The degree of a vertex p i in GK ( G ) is denoted by d G ( p i ) and the k -tuple D ( G ) = ( d G ( p 1 ) , d G ( p 2 ) , ... , d G ( p k ) ) is said to be the degree pattern of G . Moreover, if ω ⊆ π ( G ) is the vertex set of a connected component of GK ( G ) , then the largest ω -number which divides | G | , is said to be an order component of GK ( G ) . We will say that the problem of OD-characterization is solved for a finite group if we find the number of pairwise non-isomorphic finite groups with the same order and degree pattern as the group under study. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we completely solve the problem of OD-characterization for every finite non-abelian simple group with orders having prime divisors at most 29. In particular, we show that there are exactly two non-isomorphic finite groups with the same order and degree pattern as U 4 ( 2 ) . Second, we prove that there are exactly two non-isomorphic finite groups with the same order components as U 5 ( 2 ) .
