Remarks on the plus-minus weighted Davenport constant
Résumé
For $(G,+)$ a finite abelian group the plus-minus weighted Davenport constant, denoted $\mathsf{D}_{\pm}(G)$, is the smallest $\ell$ such that each sequence $g_1 \dots g_{\ell}$ over $G$ has a weighted zero-subsum with weights $+1$ and $-1$, i.e., there is a non-empty subset $I \subset \{1,\dots, \ell\}$ such that $\sum_{i \in I} a_i g_i =0$ for $a_i \in \{+1,-1\}$. We present new bounds for this constant, mainly lower bounds, and also obtain the exact value of this constant for various additional types of groups.
