Let G be an additive finite abelian group with exponent exp (G)= n. For any positive integer k, the k th Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv constant s k n (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 k n. It is easy to see that s k n (C n r)≥(k+ r) n− r where n, r∈ 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 k n (C n 3)=(k+ 3) n+ O (n ln n).•[(2)] For every positive integer k≥ 18, we have s k n (C n 4)=(k+ 4) n+ O (n ln n).•[(3)] For n∈ N, assume that the largest prime power divisor of n is p a for some a∈ N. Forany fixed r≥ 5, if p t≥ r for some t∈ N, then for any k∈ N we have s k p t n (C n r)≤(k p t+ r) n+ c r 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.
