The balancing index over the alternating group

Abstract

The balancing index of a polynomial f ∈ Z[x1,…,xn] is the least positive sum of coefficients in an integer linear combination of permuted copies of f which produces a symmetric polynomial. Here we consider the restricted problem in which only even permutations are used.
