Units in $F(C_n \times Q_{12})$ and $F(C_n \times D_{12})$

Let $C_n$, $Q_n$ and $D_n$ be the cyclic group, the quaternion group and the dihedral group of order $n$, respectively. Recently, the structures of the unit groups of the finite group algebras of $2$-groups that contain a normal cyclic subgroup of index $2$ have been studied. The dihedral groups $D_{2n}, n\geq 3$ and the generalized quaternion groups $Q_{4n}, n\geq 2$ also contain a normal cyclic subgroup of index $2$. The structures of the unit groups of the finite group algebras $FQ_{12}$, $FD_{12}$, $F(C_2 \times Q_{12})$ and $F(C_2 \times D_{12})$ over a finite field $F$ are well known. In this article, we continue this investigation and establish the structures of the unit groups of the group algebras $F(C_n \times Q_{12})$ and $F(C_n \times D_{12})$ over a finite field $F$ of characteristic $p$ containing $p^k$ elements.
