Abstract: By using the group theory and congruence theory, we calculated the number of homomorphisms between a class of metacyclic groups, which were normal cyclic groups of the order m expanded by cyclic groups of the order 4, and gave the number of endomorphisms of the metacyclic groups. The results verified that the metacyclic groups satisfied the conjecture of Asai and Yoshida.

Key words: metacyclic group, homomorphism, endomorphism, congruence
