If \\(G\\) has no fixed points, \\(n:=|\\Omega|\\), and \\(\\text{move}(G)=m\\) is finite, then \\(n\\leq 5m-2\\), by a result of \\textit{C. E. Praeger} [J. Algebra 144, No. 2, 436-442 (1991; Zbl 0744.20004)]. Furthermore, by a result of Cho, Kim, and Praeger, equality holds if and only if \\(n=3\\) and \\(G\\) is transitive. In the present paper, the bound is improved. The authors show that if \\(G\\) has no fixed points and \\(\\text{move}(G)=m\\) then \\(n\\leq(9m-3)/2\\), and that equality holds infinitely often. The examples where equality holds are classified: if \\(n>3\\) then \\(G\\) is an elementary Abelian \\(3\\)-group, and all its orbits have size 3.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1180656"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1291083"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-12-25T15:11:58Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
