Abstract Let G be a finite group. The aim of this paper is to study the number of solutions S G S ⊆ G of the equation ^\{n\} (S) =L ℧ n (S) = L, where L is a non-empty subset of G, n is a positive integer and ^\{n\} (S) =\ sⁿ \ | \ s S\ ℧ n (S) = s n | s ∈ S. Besides our findings obtained in this general frame, we also outline some results which hold for some particular cases such as: (i) L is a normal subset of G ; (ii) G is abelian; (iii) G is an extraspecial p -group.
