Feb 26, 2010 at 15:51 comment added Tony Huynh If we consider graphs with edges labelled from a finite abelian group, then we can define the group-value of a cycle as the sum of its edge labels. For a fixed element g of the group, we can then ask if there is cycle with group-value g. Cycles of length 0 (mod k) are a special instance of this problem, where the group is $Z_k$, g=0, and all edge labels are 1.

Feb 25, 2010 at 21:22 comment added David Eppstein A polynomial bound for general graphs (for any fixed k) is given by the Alon et al color-coding paper that the original question cites.
