Abstract

We show that, for any non-zero integers ${\lambda}$, ${\mu}$, ${\nu}$, ${\xi}$, class-preserving automorphisms of the group $$G({\lambda},{\mu},{\nu},{\xi})={\langle}a,b,t:b^{-1}a^{\lambda}b=a^{\mu},t^{-1}a^{\nu}t=b^{\xi}{\rangle}$$ are all inner. Hence, by using Grossman's result, the outer automorphism group of $G({\lambda},{\pm}{\lambda},{\nu},{\xi})$ is residually finite.
