Abstract: The constant $C_A(n)$ is defined to be the smallest natural number $k$ such that any sequence of $k$ elements in $mathbb{Z}_n$ has a subsequence of consecutive terms whose $A$-weighted sum is zero, where the weight set $Asubseteqmathbb{Z}_{n}setminus0$. If $C_A(n)=k$, then a sequence in $mathbb{Z}_n$ of length $k-1$ which has no $A$-weighted zero-sum subsequence of consecutive terms is called an $A$-extremal sequence. We characterize these sequences for some particular weight sets.
