Abstract: Let G be a finite abelian group, and r be a multiple of its exponent. The generalized ErdH{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant sr(G) is the smallest integer s such that every sequence of length s over G has a zero-sum subsequence of length r. We find exact values of s2m(mathbbZ2d) for dleq2m+1. Connections to linear binary codes of maximal length and codes without a forbidden weight are discussed.


Let \(G\) be a finite abelian group, and \(r\) be a multiple of its exponent \(\exp(G)\). The generalized Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv constant \(s_r(G)\) is the smallest integer \(s\) such that every sequence of length \(s\) over \(G\) has a zero-sum subsequence of length \(r\). In this paper, the author finds exact values of \(s_{2m}(\mathbb{Z}_2^d)\) for \(d\leq 2m+1\). Connections to linear binary codes of maximal length and codes without a forbidden weight are discussed.
