Abstract
Let G be an additive finite abelian group with exponent exp(G). Let s(G) (resp. η(G)) be the smallest integer t such that every sequence of t elements (repetition allowed) from G contains a zero-sum subsequence T of length |T|=exp(G) (resp. |T|â[1,exp(G)]). Let H be an arbitrary finite abelian group with exp(H)=m. In this paper, we show that s(CmnâH)=η(CmnâH)+mnâ1 holds for all nâ¥max{m|H|+1,4|H|+2m}.
