Magic rectangles, signed magic arrays and integer -fold relative Heffter arrays

Abstract: Let

m, n, s, k

be integers such that

4 l e q s l e q n

,

4 l e q k l e q m

and

m s = n k

. Let

l a m b d a

be a divisor of

2 m s

and let

t

be a divisor of

f r a c 2 m s l a m b d a

. In this paper we construct magic rectangles

M R (m, n; s, k)

, signed magic arrays

S M A (m, n; s, k)

and integer

l a m b d a

-fold relative Heffter arrays

^{l} a m b d a H_{t} (m, n; s, k)

where

s, k

are even integers. In particular, we prove that there exists an

S M A (m, n; s, k)

for all

m, n, s, k

satisfying the previous hypotheses. Furthermore, we prove that there exist an

M R (m, n; s, k)

and an integer

^{l} a m b d a H_{t} (m, n; s, k)

in each of the following cases:

(i)

s, k e q u i v 0 p m o d 4

;

(i i)

s e q u i v 2 p m o d 4

and

k e q u i v 0 p m o d 4

;

(i i i)

s e q u i v 0 p m o d 4

and

k e q u i v 2 p m o d 4

;

(i v)

s, k e q u i v 2 p m o d 4

and

m, n

both even.
