A group is a subnormal subgroup of a group if is a subgroup of , and if there is a chain
such that is normal in , for each . Every normal subgroup of a group is subnormal, but not conversely.
The IsSubnormal( H, G ) command tests whether the group H is a subnormal subgroup of the group G. It returns true if H is subnormal in G, and returns false otherwise. For some pairs H and G of groups, the value FAIL may be returned if IsSubnormal cannot determine whether H is a subnormal subgroup of G.
Every normal subgroup of a group is subnormal.
The GroupTheory[IsSubnormal] command was introduced in Maple 2018.
