On the distribution of subset sums of certain sets in $\mathbb{Z}^2_p$ (2304.01777v1)

Abstract: A given subset $A$ of natural numbers is said to be complete if every element of $\mathbb{N}$ is the sum of distinct terms taken from $A$. This topic is strongly connected to the knapsack problem which is known to be NP complete. Interestingly if $A$ and $B$ are complete sequences then $A\times B$ is not necessarily complete in $\mathbb{N}^2$. In this paper we consider a modular version of this problem, motivated by the communication complexity problem of [2].
