Differences of functions with the same value multiset (Q6616799)

\textit{D. H. Ullman} et al. [Am. Math. Mon. 126, No. 3, 199--216 (2019; Zbl 1504.20055)] studied functions \(a\) from an abelian group \(G\) to itself that can be expressed as a difference of two bijections \(b\), \(c\) from \(G\) to itself. The authors study functions that can be expressed as the difference of two functions with the same value multiset under the assumption that \(G\) is a finite abelian group. They give a description of all possible \(b\), \(c\) which sequences can be used to express \(a = b - c\) in terms of \(a\). They prove a stronger version of \textit{M. Hall}'s theorem for bijections of finite groups [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 3, 584--587 (1952; Zbl 0047.02701)].\N\NFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1540.05004].
