Abstract
Let be a finite additive abelian group. For given a positive integer, the -Harborth constant is defined to be the smallest positive integer such that given a set of elements of with size there exists a zero-sum subset of size . We find either the exact value of , or lower and upper bounds for this constant for some groups.
