Fixed-size partial-sum sequencing problem

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let kk be fixed, and let AA be a kk-element subset of the nonzero elements of Zn{\mathbb Z}_n. Fixed-size sequencing problem. Determine whether there exists a constant NN such that, whenever

n≥N,n\geq N,

the partial-sum sequencing conjecture holds for AA. This is a fixed-kk, large-nn generalization of the main conjecture. The source states the problem but supplies no proof, value of NN, or resolution.
