Apr 25, 2017 at 12:38 comment added the_fox Your suggestion to use Burnside is good; I hadn't thought of that. I think that it might be useful to try to answer the following: if $G=[N]H$ is a semidirect product of the normal $N$ with $H$, where $\gcd(|N|,|H|)=1$, is $r(G)$ related to $r(G/N)$, $r(H)$ in a "nice way"?
Apr 25, 2017 at 12:20 comment added the_fox In the past, I had searched for results related to $s(G)$ or $c(G)$, but I did not find much of interest there...
Apr 25, 2017 at 12:11 comment added Derek Holt On the other hand, it is possible that this problem has been studied already, so you should try and ascertain that before working too hard on it!
Apr 25, 2017 at 12:09 comment added Derek Holt I am not aware of any known results in this area, but my guess is that it would be possible to prove something similar to $(*)$ with some work. For $(*)$ to fail there would have to be subgroups with normalizers of size smaller than $8$, which is possible, but has consequences on the structure of $G$. For example, if there is a self-normalizing subgroup of order $2$ or $3$, then $G$ has a normal $2$- or $3$-complement by Burnside's Transfer Theorem.
