On the size of complete decompositions of finite cyclic groups
Let G be an abelian group and A(1), ..., A(k) (k >= 2) be nonempty subsets of G. The sets A(1), ..., A(k) are said to form a complete decomposition of G of order k if G = A(l) + ... + A(k) and A(1), ..., A(k) are pairwise disjoint. The size of a complete decomposition A(1), ..., A(k) of G is defi...

| Summary: | Let G be an abelian group and A(1), ..., A(k) (k >= 2) be nonempty subsets of G. The sets A(1), ..., A(k) are said to form a complete decomposition of G of order k if G = A(l) + ... + A(k) and A(1), ..., A(k) are pairwise disjoint. The size of a complete decomposition A(1), ..., A(k) of G is defined to be = vertical bar boolean OR(k)(i=1)A(i)vertical bar. = Sigma(k)(i=1) vertical bar A(i)vertical bar. In this paper, we determine the minimum and maximum size of a complete decomposition of a finite cyclic group. |
