Suppose G is a finite abelian group and S = g1 ···gl is a sequence of elements in G. For any element g of G and A ⊆ Z\{0}, let NA,g(S) denote the number of subsequences T = Q i∈I gi of S such that P i∈I aigi = g , where I ⊆ {1,...,l} and ai ∈ A. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the lower bound for NA,0(S). In particular, we prove that NA,0(S) ≥ 2 |S|=D A(G)+1 , where DA(G) is the smallest positive integer l such that every sequence over G of length at least l has a nonempty A-zero…

Abstract In this paper the following theorem is proved. Let G be a finite Abelian group of order n . Then, n + D ( G )−1 is the least integer m with the property that for any sequence of m elements a

It is proved that either $N_g(S)=0$ or $N-g (S) \ge 2^{|S|-D(G)+1}$, where D(G)$is the smallest positive integer such that every sequence over$G$of length at least$\ell$has a nonempty zero-sum subsequence. ### Theorem in the Additive Number Theory THEOREM. Each set of 2n-1 integers contains some subset of n elements the sum of which is a multiple of n. PROOF. Assume first n = p (p prime).

A sequence S of terms from an abelian group is zero-sum if the sum of the terms of S is zero. In 1961 Erdős, Ginzburg and Ziv proved that any sequence of 2m− 1 terms from an abelian group of order m
