Özet

It is shown that, if a non-linear locally finite simple group is a union of finite simple groups, then the centralizer of every element of odd order has a series of finite length with factors which are either locally solvable or non-abelian simple. Moreover, at least one of the factors is non-linear simple. This is also extended to abelian subgroup of odd orders.
