Abstract
Let r, m and k≥2 be positive integers such that r∣k and let v∈[0,⌊2rk−1⌋] be any integer. For any integer ℓ∈[1,k] and ϵ∈{0,1}, we let Ev(ℓ,ϵ) be the linear homogeneous equation defined by Ev(ℓ,ϵ):x1+⋯+xk−(rv+ϵ)=xk−(rv+ϵ−1)+⋯+ℓxk. We denote the number Sz,m(ℓ,ϵ)(k;r;v), which is defined to be the least positive integer t such that for any m-coloring χ:[1,t]→{0,1,…,m−1}, there exists a solution (x^1,x^2,…,x^k) to the equation Ev(ℓ,ϵ) that satisfies the r-zero-sum condition, namely, i=1∑kχ(x^i)≡0(modr). In this article, we completely determine the constant Sz,2(k,1)(k;r;0), Sz,m(k−1,1)(k;r;0), Sz,2(1,1)(k;2;1) and Sz,r(1,0)(k;r;v). Also, we prove upper bound for the constants Sz,2(2,1)(k;2;0) and Sz,2(1,1)(k;2;v).
