Abstract
The constant is defined to be the smallest natural number such that any sequence of elements in has a subsequence of consecutive terms whose -weighted sum is zero, where the weight set . If , then a sequence in of length which has no -weighted zero-sum subsequence of consecutive terms is called an -extremal sequence. We characterize these sequences for some particular weight sets.
