Abstract: Let G be a finite abelian group and D(G) denote the Davenport constant of G. We derive new upper bound for the Davenport constant for all groups of rank three. Our main result is that: D(C_{n_1}oplus C_{n_2}oplus C_{n_3})le (n_1-1)+(n_2-1)+(n_3-1)+1+ (a_3-3)(n_1-1), where 1<n1|n2|n3inmathbbN and a3le20369 is a constant. Therefore D(Cn1oplusCn2oplusCn3) grows linearly with the variables n1,n2,n3. The new result is the given upper bound for a3. Finally, we give an application of the Davenport constant to smooth numbers.
