Abstract
Let be a finite group and be the dihedral group of elements. For a positive integer , let denote the smallest integer such that every sequence over of length has a nonempty -product subsequence with (mod ). In this paper, we mainly study the problem for dihedral groups and determine their exact values: , if is odd with ; , if . Furthermore, we also analysis the problem for metacyclic groups and obtain a result: , where and .
