On the Existence of a Subgroup Magic Rectangle
摘要
Let \(\varGamma \) be a finite additive Abelian group. A subgroup magic rectangle is an \(m\times n\) array \(\mathbb {S}=(\zeta _{ij})\) , where \(\zeta _{ij} \in \varGamma \) for all i, j and \(|\varGamma |=mn\) , each element appears exactly once in such a way that the set of all row-sums forms a subgroup of order m and the set of all column-sums forms a subgroup of order n. This combinatorial object is a generalization of the constant sum partition of a finite Abelian group and group magic rectangle. In this article, we prove the existence of a subgroup magic rectangle over Abelian group \(\varGamma \) of order \(p^3\) , where p is an odd prime and a characterization for the existence of a subgroup magic rectangle over \(\mathbb {Z}_{mn}\) , where \(\gcd (m,n)\) is odd.
