Abstract
A matching from a finite subset to another subset is a bijection with the property that never lies in . A matching is called acyclic if it is uniquely determined by its multiplicity function. Alon et al. established the acyclic matching property for , which was later extended to all abelian torsion-free groups. In a prior work, the authors of this paper settled the acyclic matching property for all abelian groups. The objective of this note is to explore a related concept, known as the weak acyclic matching property, within the context of abelian groups.
