Abstract

A prototype of zero-sum theorems, the well-known theorem of Erdős, Ginzburg and Ziv says that for any positive integer n, any sequence a 1 , a 2 , … , a 2 n - 1 of 2 n - 1 integers has a subsequence of n elements whose sum is 0 modulo n. Appropriate generalizations of the question, especially that for ( Z / p Z ) d , generated a lot of research and still have challenging open questions. Here we propose a new generalization of the Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv theorem and prove it in some basic cases.
