A magic rectangle set on abelian groups and its application

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A Gamma-magic rectangle set MRSGamma(a,b;c) of order abc is a collection of c arrays (aimesb) whose entries are elements of group Gamma, each appearing once, with all row sums in every rectangle equal to a constant omegainGamma and all column sums in every rectangle equal to a constant deltainGamma. In this paper we prove that for a,beq2alpha,2k+1 where alpha and k are some natural numbers, a Gamma-magic rectangle set MRSGamma(a,b;c) exists if and only if a and b are both even or and |Gamma| is odd or Gamma has more than one involution. Moreover we obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for existence a Gamma-magic rectangle MRSGamma(a,b)=MRSGamma(a,b;1).
