Abstract

We derive some new results on the k-th barycentric Olson constants of abelian groups (mainly cyclic). This quantity, for a finite abelian (additive) group (G,+), is defined as the smallest integer @? such that each subset A of G with at least @? elements contains a subset with k elements {g"1,...,g"k} satisfying g"1+...+g"k=kg"j for some 1@?j@?k.
