The Davenport constant is a combinatorial group invariant that\u0000has been studied fruitfully over several decades in additive combinatorics,\u0000invariant theory, and factorization theory, etc. Apart from a few cases of\u0000finite groups, the precise value of the Davenport constant is unknown.
