Abstract
In this paper we introduce a particular class of Heffter arrays, called globally simple Heffter arrays, whose existence gives at once orthogonal cyclic cycle decompositions of the complete graph and of the cocktail party graph. In particular we provide explicit constructions of such decompositions for cycles of length $k\leq 10$. Furthermore, starting from our Heffter arrays we also obtain biembeddings of two $k$-cycle decompositions on orientable surfaces.

A problem on partial sums in abelian groups

TL;DR: This paper proposes a conjecture concerning partial sums of an arbitrary finite subset of an abelian group, that naturally arises investigating simple Heffter systems and shows its connection with related open problems and presents some results about the validity of these conjectures.

A generalization of Heffter arrays

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a new class of partially filled arrays, called relative Heffter arrays, which are a generalization of the Heffler arrays introduced by Archdeacon in 2015.

The existence of square non-integer Heffter arrays

TL;DR: In this paper, Dinitz and Wanless showed that such an integer Heffter array can be found whenever the column sum is divisible by a factor of 2nk+1.

Existence of cyclic k -cycle systems of the complete graph

TL;DR: A cyclic p-cycle system of Kv with p being a prime exists for all admissible values of v but (p,v) ≠ (3,9), which was previously known only for p = 3, 5, 7.

Orientable embedding of Cayley graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, the transition probabilities pij(t) (i^j) of a Markov chain were examined, and it was shown that the transition probability of a chain is a function of the regenerative property of the state 0.

Cyclic Hamiltonian cycle systems of the complete graph

TL;DR: It is proved that there exists a cyclic Hamiltonian k-cycle system of the complete graph if and only if k is odd but k≠15 and pα with p prime and α>1.
