英文摘要	Let G be an additive finite abelian group with exponent exp(G) = n. For any positive integer k, the kth Erdos-Ginzburg-Ziv constant s(kn) (G) is defined as the smallest positive integer t such that every sequence S in G of length at least t has a zero-sum subsequence of length kn. It is easy to see that s(kn)(C-n(r)) >= (k + r)n - r where n, r is an element of N. Kubertin conjectured that the equality holds for any k >= r. In this paper, we prove the following results: (1) For every positive integer k >= 6, we have s(kn)(C-n(3)) = (k + 3)n + O(n/ln n). (2) For every positive integer k >= 18, we have s(kn)(C-n(4)) = (k + 4)n + O(n/ln n) (3) For n is an element of N, assume that the largest prime power divisor of n is p(a) for some a is an element of N. For any fixed r >= 5, if p(t) >= r for some t is an element of N, then for any k is an element of N we have s(kpn)(t)(C-n(r)) <= (kp(t) + r)n + cr n/ln n, where c(r) is a constant that depends on r. Our results verify the conjecture of Kubertin asymptotically in the above cases. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
