Resumen
Let ??
V
be a finite set of positive integers with sum equal to a multiple of the integer ??
b
. When does ??
V
have a partition into ??
b
parts so that all parts have equal sums? We develop algorithmic constructions which yield positive, albeit incomplete, answers for the following classes of set ??
V
, where ??
n
is a given positive integer: (1) an initial interval {???Z+:??=??}
{
a
?
Z
+
:
a
=
n
}
; (2) an initial interval of primes {???P:??=??}
{
p
?
P
:
p
=
n
}
, where P
P
is the set of primes; (3) a divisor set {???Z+:??|??}
{
d
?
Z
+
:
d
|
n
}
; (4) an aliquot set {???Z+:??|??, ???}
{
d
?
Z
+
:
d
|
n
,
d
<
n
}
. Open general questions and conjectures are included for each of these classes.
