Abstract: Let G be a finite abelian group and p be the smallest prime dividing |G|. Let S be a sequence over G. We say that S is regular if for every proper subgroup HsubsetneqG, S contains at most |H|−1 terms from H. Let mathsfc0(G) be the smallest integer t such that every regular sequence S over G of length |S|geqt forms an additive basis of G, i.e., sum(S)=G. The invariant mathsfc0(G) was first studied by Olson and Peng in 1980's, and since then it has been determined for all finite abelian groups except for the groups with rank 2 and a few groups of rank 3 or 4 with order less than 108. In this paper, we focus on the remaining case concerning groups of rank 2. It was conjectured by Gao et al. (Acta Arith. 168 (2015) 247-267) that mathsfc0(G)=m(G). We confirm the conjecture for the case when G=Cn1oplusCn2 with n1|n2, n1geq2p, pgeq3 and n1n2geq72p6.
