So far there has been elementary proof for Frobenius's theorem only in special cases: if the complement is solvable, see e.g. [3], if the complement is of even order, see e.g. [6]. In the first section we consider the case, when the order of the complement is odd. We define a graph the vertices of which are the set K# of elements of our Frobenius group with 0 fixed points. Two vertices are connected with an edge if and only if the corresponding elements commute. We prove with elementary methods that K is a normal subgroup in G if and only if there exists an element x in K# such that all elements of K# belonging to the connected component C of K# containing x are at most distance 2 from c and NG(C) is not a -group, where is the set of prime divisors of the Frobenius complement of G. In the second section we generalize the case when the order of the complement is even, proving that the Frobenius kernel is a normal subgroup, if a fixed element a of the complement, the order of which is a minimal prime divisor of the order of the complement, generates a solvable subgroup together with any ofits conjugates. In the third section we prove a generalization of the Glauberman-Thompson normal p-complement theorem, and using this wegive another sufficient condition for the Frobenius kernel to be a normal subgroup for |G| odd, namely we prove this under the conditionthat all the Sylow normalizers in G intersect some of the complements
