A rational homogeneous equation ∑i​ai​xi​=0 has a monochromatic positive odd solution in every finite colouring of the odd integers exactly when its full coefficient sum is zero. Sufficiency uses a constant odd vector. For necessity, clear denominators and, if the total S is nonzero, colour by odd residue classes modulo 2K>∣S∣. A common odd residue is invertible, so a solution would require 2K∣S, impossible. This is stronger than the zero-sum-subset criterion for unrestricted partition regularity.
