In this note we will study the following problem. For a given partition regular system of equations, which equations can be added to this system without introducing new variables, such that the new augmented system is again partition regular. It turns that the Hindman system on finite sums as well as the Deuber-Hindman system on finite sums of (m, p, c)-sets are maximal in this sense.
