Abstract

In this paper upper bounds on the Engel length of a group G of prime-power exponent are obtained, under varying conditions on a normal subgroup H and the quotient G/H. Examples are constructed to show that the bounds are best possible when the nilpotency class of H is less than the relevant prime.
