Has every finite group a minimal presentation?












5












$begingroup$


For a finite group $G$ let $d(G)$ be the minimal number of generators of $G$ and let $r(G)$ be the minimal number such that $G$ has a finite presentation with $r(G)$ relators. Call a presentation with $d(G)$ generators and $r(G)$ relators a minimal presentation.

    I presume your question is means to read "Question: Has every finite group a minimal presentation ?" not representation. But I don't want to edit it, just in case...
