Partition of Abelian groups into zero-sum sets by complete mappings and its application to the existence of a magic rectangle set
Abstract
A complete mapping of a group is a bijection for which the mapping is a bijection. In this paper we consider the existence of a complete mapping of and a partition of elements of , such that for every , . A -magic rectangle set of order is a collection of arrays whose entries are elements of group of order , each appearing once, with all row sums in every rectangle equal to a constant and all column sums in every rectangle equal to a constant . While a complete characterization of MRS exists for cases where , the scenario where remains unsolved for . Using the partition of into zero-sum sets by complete mappings, we give some sufficient conditions that a -magic rectangle set MRS exists.
