Symmetry conjecture for odd-sized modular sum-difference-closed subsets

Let ee be a positive integer, and let S{0,1,,e1}S\subseteq\{0,1,\ldots,e-1\}. Assume that for every x,ySx,y\in S, either x+ymodeSx+y\bmod e\in S or xymodeSx-y\bmod e\in S. The odd-subset symmetry conjecture. Every odd-sized solution SS satisfies

0S,0\in S,

and S{e}S\cup\{e\} is symmetric about e/2e/2. This gives necessary, but not sufficient, properties for the solutions of the associated open problem; the paper reports computational evidence for small values of ee.
