Let G be a finite abelian group with exponent exp ( G ) and S be a sequence with elements of G. We say S is a zero-sum sequence if the sum of the elements in S is the zero element of G. For a positive integer t, let s t exp ( G ) ( G ) (respectively, s t exp ( G ) ( G )) denote the smallest integer such that every sequence (respectively, zero-sum sequence) S over G with | S | contains a zero-sum subsequence of length t exp ( G ). The invariant s t exp ( G ) ( G ) (respectively, s t exp ( G ) ( G )) is called the Generalized Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv constant (respectively, Modified Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv constant) of G. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between Generalized Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv constant and Modified Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv constant, and determine s t exp ( G ) ( G ) for some finite abelian groups.
