Davenport constant for semigroups. II. (Q2344343)

Let \(R\) be a quotient ring of the polynomial ring \(\mathbb F_q[x]\) over the finite field \(\mathbb F_q\) with \(0\neq R\neq\mathbb F_q[x]\). It is shown that the Davenport constant of the multiplicative semigroup \(\mathcal S_R\) of \(R\) is equal to the Davenport constant of the unit group of \(\mathcal S_R\). For part I see the author and \textit{W. Gao} [Semigroup Forum 76, No. 2, 234-238 (2008; Zbl 1142.20043)].
