On the problem of Molluzzo for the modulus 4

Combinatorics 2016-03-31 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We solve the currently smallest open case in the 1976 problem of Molluzzo on Z/mZ\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}, namely the case m=4m=4. This amounts to constructing, for all positive integer nn congruent to 00 or 7mod87 \bmod{8}, a sequence of integers modulo 44 of length nn generating, by Pascal's rule, a Steinhaus triangle containing 0,1,2,30,1,2,3 with equal multiplicities.
