Abstract: | A prototype of zero-sum theorems, the well-known theorem of Erd?s, Ginzburg and Ziv says that for any positive integer n, any sequence a1,a2,…,a2n-1 of 2n-1 integers has a subsequence of n elements whose sum is 0 modulo n. Appropriate generalizations of the question, especially that for (Z/pZ)d, generated a lot of research and still have challenging open questions. Here we propose a new generalization of the Erd?s-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem and prove it in some basic cases. |
