Weak CMPP conjecture for abelian groups

Let tt be a positive integer, let GG be an abelian group, and let AA be a finite subset of G{0}G\setminus\{0\} with A>t|A|>t. An ordering of AA is a tt-weak sequencing if its partial sums s0,s1,,sAs_0,s_1,\ldots,s_{|A|} satisfy sisjs_i\ne s_j whenever iji\ne j and ijt|i-j|\leq t; AA is tt-weak sequenceable if it admits such an ordering.

Weak CMPP conjecture. If

A{x,x}1|A\cap\{x,-x\}|\leq 1

for every xGx\in G, then AA is tt-weak sequenceable.

This is the weak-sequenceability analogue of the CMPP conjecture, proposed after the paper states the corresponding general weak sequenceability conjecture. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
