Extremal product-one free sequences over $C_n \rtimes_s C_2$
Abstract
Let be a finite group multiplicatively written. The small Davenport constant of is the maximum positive integer such that there exists a sequence of length for which every subsequence of is product-one free. Let , where . It has been proven that (see Lemma 6 of [Zhuang, Gao; Europ. J. Combin. 26 (2005), 1053-1059]). In this paper, we determine all sequences over of length which are product-one free. It completes the classification of all product-one free sequences over every group of the form , including the quasidihedral groups and the modular maximal-cyclic groups.

9 pages. This is a complete answer to the inverse problem proposed in the old versions of the paper "The $\{1,s\}$-weighted Davenport constant in $C_n^k$". In those old versions, partial answers were given using the bounds of the weighted problem. This complete answer does not use any bound obtained there
