Abstract

We proved that finite $p$-groups in the title coincide with finite $p$-groups all of whose non-abelian subgroups are generated by two elements. Based on the result, finite $p$-groups all of whose subgroups of class 2 are minimal non-abelian (of the same order) are classified, respectively. Thus two questions posed by Berkovich are solved.

Keywords: finite $p$-groups, minimal non-abelian $p$-groups, subgroups of class 2
