Abstract:Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. It is well known that every sequence $S$ over $G$ of length at least $|G|$ contains a zero-sum subsequence of length at most $\mathsf{h}(S)$, where $\mathsf{h}(S)$ is the maximal multiplicity of elements occurring in $S$. It is interesting to study the corresponding inverse problem, that is to find information on the structure of the sequence $S$ which does not contain zero-sum subsequences of length at most $\mathsf{h}(S)$. Under the assumption that $|\sum(S)|< \min\{|G|,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
