Minimal Zero Sequences of Finite Cyclic Groups
If G is a finite Abelian group, let MZS(G, k) denote the set of minimal zero sequences of G of length k. In this paper we investigate the structure of the elements of this set, and the cardinality of the set itself. We do this for the class of groups G = Zn for k both small (k ≤ 4) and large (k > 2n 3 ).
متن کاملLong Minimal Zero - Sum Sequences in the Groups
The article discusses su ciently long minimal zero-sum sequences over groups of the form C 1 2 C2k, with rank r 3. Their structure is clarified by general results in the first part. The conclusions are applied to the Davenport problems, direct and inverse, for the rank-5 group C4 2 C2k. We determine its Davenport constant for k 70 and describe the longest minimal zero-sum sequences in the more ...
متن کاملA Characterization of Minimal Zero-sequences of Index One in Finite Cyclic Groups
Let G ∼= Zn where n is a positive integer. A finite sequence S = {g1, . . . , gk} of not necessarily distinct elements from G for which ∑k i=1 gi = 0 is called a zero-sequence. If a zero-sequence S contains no proper subzero-sequence, then it is called a minimal zero-sequence. The notion of the index of a minimal zero-sequence (see Definition 1) in Zn has been recently addressed in the mathemat...
متن کاملZero-sum subsequences of length kq over finite abelian p-groups
For a finite abelian group G and a positive integer k, let sk(G) denote the smallest integer l ∈ N such that any sequence S of elements of G of length |S| ≥ l has a zerosum subsequence with length k. The celebrated Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem determines sn(Cn) = 2n−1 for cyclic groups Cn, while Reiher showed in 2007 that sn(C 2 n) = 4n−3. In this paper we prove for a p-group G with exponent exp(...
متن کاملSubsequence Sums of Zero-sum Free Sequences over Finite Abelian Groups
Let G be a finite abelian group of rank r and let X be a zero-sum free sequence over G whose support supp(X) generates G. In 2009, Pixton proved that |Σ(X)| ≥ 2r−1(|X| − r + 2) − 1 for r ≤ 3. In this paper, we show that this result also holds for abelian groups G of rank 4 if the smallest prime p dividing |G| satisfies p ≥ 13.
