Abstract

Let Zp be the finite field of prime order p and A be a subsequence of Zp. We prove several classification results about the following questions:(1) When can one represent zero as a sum of some elements of A?(2) When can one represent every element of Zp as a sum of some elements of A?(3) When can one represent every element of Zp as a sum of l elements of A?
