Let G be an abelian group (written additively), X be a subset of G and S be a minimal zero-sum sequence over X. S is called unsplittable in X if there do not exist an element g in S and two elements x, y in X such that g = x + y and the new sequence Sg−1xy is still a minimal zero-sum sequence. In this paper, we mainly investigate the case when G = Z and X = [[−m, n]] with m, n ∈ N. We obtain the structure of unsplittable minimal zero-sum sequences of length.at least n + ⌊m/2⌋ + 2 provided that n ≥ m2/2 − 1 and m ≥ 6. As a corollary, the Davenport constant D([[−m, n]]) is determined.when n ≥ m2/2−1. The Davenport constant D(X) for a general set X ⊂ Z is also discussed.
