Mollard and Ramras \\cite{MR2013} noted that for odd $n$ it is necessary that $k$ divides $n2^{n-1}$ and that $k\\leq n$. Later, Anick and Ramras \\cite{AR2013} showed that these two conditions are also sufficient for odd $n \\leq 2^{32}$ and conjectured that this was true for all odd $n$. In this note we prove the conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-10-24T21:20:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "decomposing", "dimensional hypercube", "conjecture", "conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.6776E" } } }
