supersolvable group (Definition)

A group $G$ is supersolvable if it has a finite normal series $$G = G_0 \rhd G_1 \rhd \cdots \rhd G_n = 1$$ with the property that each factor group $G_{i-1}/G_i$ is cyclic.

A supersolvable group is solvable.

Finitely generated nilpotent groups are supersolvable.
