group with the minimum condition for subgroups, group with the descending chain condition

A group in which any decreasing chain of distinct subgroups terminates after a finite number. Artinian groups are periodic, and the question of their structure hinges on Schmidt's problem on infinite groups with finite proper subgroups [3] and the minimality problem: Is an Artinian group a finite extension of an Abelian group? Both these problems have been solved for locally solvable groups [1] and locally finite groups [3], [4].

Comments

Schmidt's problem actually states: Under what conditions does an infinite group have proper infinite subgroups?
