Let $z_1,z_2,\dots,z_N$ be vectors from $\mathbb Z^m$ for some $m$. The problem is: Given a positive real number $p$, find the subset $A_p \subset \{ 1,2,\dots,N \}$ of size $|A_p| = p$ such that $$ \|\sum_{i \in A_p} z_i \| $$ is maximized, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the Euclidean norm. I am most interested in cases where $m$ is small, not much more than $2$, and $N$ is large, potentially $1000$s. I would be surprised if this problem had not previously been studied. Has anybody seen it before? Does it have a name?
