Abstract: For any positive integer m, let Zm be the additive group of residue classes modulo m. For A ? Zm and n ∈ Zm, let the representation function RA(n) denote the number of solutions of the equation n = a + a′ with unordered pairs (a, a′) ∈ A × A. Let m = 2αM > 2, where α is a positive integer and M is a positive odd integer. In this paper, the author proves that if M ≥ 3, then there exist two distinct sets A, B ? Zm with |A∪B| = m? 2, A∩B = ? and B 6= m2 + A such that RA(n) = RB(n) for all n ∈ Zm. The author also proves that if M = 1 and A, B ? Zm with |A ∪ B| = m ? 2 and A ∩ B = ?, then RA(n) = RB(n) for all n ∈ Zm if and only if B = m2 + A.
