We show that residually finite or word hyperbolic groups which can be decomposed as a finite union of double cosets of a cyclic subgroup are necessarily virtually cyclic, and apply this result to the study of Frobenius permutation groups. We show that in general finite double coset decompositions of a group can be interpreted as an obstruction to splitting a group as a free product with amalgamation or an HNN extension
