A Minimum Problem for Finite Sets of Real Numbers with Nonnegative Sum

Let 𝑛 and 𝑟 be two integers such that 0<𝑟≤𝑛; we denote by 𝛾(𝑛,𝑟)[𝜂(𝑛,𝑟)] the minimum [maximum] number of the nonnegative partial sums of a sum ∑𝑛1=1𝑎𝑖≥0, where 𝑎1,…,𝑎𝑛 are 𝑛 real numbers arbitrarily chosen in such a way that 𝑟 of them are nonnegative and the remaining 𝑛−𝑟 are negative. We study t...
