On a generalization of the seating couples problem

Combinatorics 2016-03-23 v1

Abstract

We prove a conjecture of Adamaszek generalizing the seating couples problem to the case of 2n2n seats. Concretely, we prove that given a positive integer nn and d1,,dn(Z/2n)d_1,\ldots,d_n\in(\mathbb{Z}/2n)^* we can partition Z/2n\mathbb{Z}/2n into nn pairs with differences d1,,dnd_1,\ldots,d_n.
