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. |
