Abstract
Let , and be positive integers. Let be a finite abelian group of order . A -magic rectangle set MRS is a collection of arrays of size whose entries are elements of a group , each appearing exactly once, such that the sum of each row in every array equals a constant and the sum of each column in every array equals a constant . This paper establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an MRS for any finite abelian group , thereby confirming a conjecture presented by Cichacz and Hinc.
