On s - sum vectors - version 1 Techincal Report

We study vectors of positive integers such that a finite number of positive linear combinations of their elements results in the sum of the elements of the vector. We find a family of vectors such that their sum can be obtained only by one positive linear combination of their elements and we prove that this family contains the vectors having minimal sum in function of the number of their elements.

The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
