Minimal generation of transitive permutation groups

This thesis discusses upper bounds on the minimal number of elements d(G) required to generate a finite group G. We derive explicit upper bounds for the function d on transitive and minimally transitive permutation groups, in terms of their degree n. In the transitive case, bounds obtained first by...
