Weak CMPP conjecture for abelian groups

About 4 years old · traced to

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,…,s∣A∣s_0,s_1,\ldots,s_{|A|} satisfy si≠sjs_i\ne s_j whenever i≠ji\ne j and ∣i−j∣≤t|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 x∈Gx\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.
