Subset sums in p
Abstract
Let p be the finite field of prime order p and A be a subset of p. We prove several sharp results about the following two basic questions: (1) When can one represent zero as a sum of distinct elements of A ? (2) When can one represent every element of p as a sum of distinct elements of A ?
