Abstract

‎Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite‎.‎
