Weighted representation functions on Z_m

Abstract: Let

m

,

k_{1}

, and

k_{2}

be three integers with

m g e 2

. For any set

A s u b s e t e q m a t h b b Z_{m}

and

n i n m a t h b b Z_{m}

, let

h a t r_{k_{1}, k_{2}} (A, n)

denote the number of solutions of the equation

n = k_{1} a_{1} + k_{2} a_{2}

with

a_{1}, a_{2} i n A

. In this paper, using exponential sums, we characterize all

m

,

k_{1}

,

k_{2}

, and

A

for which

h a t r_{k_{1}, k_{2}} (A, n) = h a t r_{k_{1}, k_{2}} (m a t h b b Z_{m} s e t m i n u s A, n)

for all

n i n m a t h b b Z_{m}

. We also pose several problems for further research.
