Independent Sets in Some Classical Groups of Dimension Three

Given a finite group G, an independent set S in G is a set where no element of S can be written as a word in the other elements of S. A minimax set is an independent generating set for G of largest size in G. This thesis seeks to find a good upper bound for the size of minimax sets in SL(3,q) for od...
