Abstract
For , the -weighted Gao constant is defined to be the smallest natural number such that any sequence of elements in has a subsequence of length whose -weighted sum is zero. When is the set of all units in , we determine the value of and values of two related constants and . We also characterize all sequences of length in which do not have any -weighted zero-sum subsequence of length when is a power of 2.
