Let $C_n$ be the cyclic group of order $n$. In this paper, we provide the exact values of some zero-sum constants over $C_n \rtimes_s C_2$ where $s \not\equiv \pm1 \pmod n$, namely $\eta$-constant, Gao constant, and Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv…

Let $n \ge 8$ be even, and let $G = \langle x, y \mid x^2 = y^{n/2}, y^n = 1, yx = xy^s \rangle$, where $s^2 \equiv 1 \pmod n$ and $s \not\equiv \pm1 \pmod n$. In this paper, we provide the precise values of some zero-sum constants over…

We determine the exact value of the $\eta$-constant and the multiwise Davenport constants for finite abelian groups of rank three having the form $G \simeq C_2 \oplus C_{n_2} \oplus C_{n_3}$ with $2 \mid n_2 \mid n_3$. Moreover, we…

This article focuses on the study of zero-sum invariants of finite non-abelian groups. We address two main problems: the first centers on the ordered Davenport constant and the second on Gao's constant. We establish a connection between the…

For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $d$, let $\mathsf s_{d \mathbb N} (G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell \in \mathbb N_0$ such that every sequence $S$ over $G$ of length $|S| \ge \ell$ has a nonempty zero-sum…

Let $D(G)$ be the Davenport constant of a finite Abelian group $G$. For a positive integer $m$ (the case $m = 1$, is the classical one) let ${\mathsf E}_m(G)$ (or $\eta_m(G)$, respectively) be the least positive integer $t$ such that every…

The Davenport constant for a finite abelian group $G$ is the minimal length $\ell$ such that any sequence of $\ell$ terms from $G$ must contain a nontrivial zero-sum sequence. For the group $G=(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^2$, its value is $2n-1$,…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A finite collection of elements from $G$, where the order is disregarded and repetitions are allowed, is said to be a product-one sequence if its elements can be ordered such that their product in $G$ equals the…

For a finite group $G$, we denote by ${\sf d}(G)$ and by ${\sf E}(G)$, respectively, the small Davenport constant and the Gao constant of $G$. Let $C_n$ be the cyclic group of order $n$ and let $G_{m,n,s} = C_n \rtimes_s C_m$ be a…

Let $G$ be an additive finite abelian group. A sequence over $G$ is called a minimal zero-sum sequence if the sum of its terms is zero and no proper subsequence has this property. Davenport's constant of $G$ is the maximum of the lengths of…
