Abstract
For a weight-set , the -weighted zero-sum constant is defined to be the smallest natural number , such that any sequence of elements in has an -weighted zero-sum subsequence of consecutive terms. A sequence of length in which does not have any -weighted zero-sum subsequence of consecutive terms will be called a -extremal sequence for . Let denote the Jacobi symbol of . We characterize the -extremal sequences for the weight-set and for the weight-set where is a prime divisor of . We can define -extremal sequences for these weight-sets in a way analogous to the definition of -extremal sequences. We also characterize these sequences.
