Costa–Morini–Pasotti–Pellegrini partial-sums conjecture for abelian groups
Let be an abelian group, and let be a finite subset of . Assume that no two-element subset is contained in , and that
For an ordering of , define partial sums by . Costa–Morini–Pasotti–Pellegrini conjecture. There exists an ordering of the elements of such that the partial sums are all distinct. The conjecture would imply that every Heffter system is simple, connecting the partial-sums problem with cyclic cycle systems. Its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
