Title
A variant of Kemnitz conjecture
Abstract
For any integer n ≥ 3, by g(Zn ⊕ Zn) we denote the smallest positive integer t such that every subset of cardinality t of the group Zn ⊕ Zn contains a subset of cardinality n whose sum is zero. Kemnitz (Extremalprobleme für Gitterpunkte, Ph.D. Thesis, Technische Universität Braunschweig, 1982) proved that g(Zp ⊕ Zp) = 2p - 1 for p = 3, 5, 7. In this paper, as our main result, we prove that g(Zp ⊕ Zp) = 2p - 1 for all primes p ≥ 67.
