P-group generation algorithm

In mathematics, specifically group theory, finite groups of prime power order , for a fixed prime number and varying integer exponents , are briefly called finite p-groups.

The p-group generation algorithm by M. F. Newman [1] and E. A. O'Brien [2] [3] is a recursive process for constructing the descendant tree of an assigned finite p-group which is taken as the root of the tree.
