A sequence $S=(x_1,\ldots, x_k)$ in $\mathbb Z_p$ is called a $(Q_p,\mathbf 1)$-weighted zero-sum sequence if there exist $a_1,\ldots,a_k\in Q_p$ such that $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_kx_k=0$ and $a_1+\cdots+a_k=0$. The constant $E_{Q_p,\mathbf 1}$ is…

For a finite group $G,$ $\mathsf{D}(G)$ is defined as the least positive integer $k$ such that for every sequence $S=g_1\bdot g_2\bdot \dotsc \bdot g_k$ of length $k$ over $G$, there exist $1 \le i_1 < i_2 <\cdots < i_m \le k $ such that…

The aim of this paper is threefold: a) Finding new direct and inverse results in the additive number theory concerning Minkowski sums of dilates. b) Finding a connection between the above results and some direct and inverse problems in the…

Classically, an abelian group $G$ is said to be slender if every homomorphism from the countable product $\mathbb Z^{\mathbb N}$ to $G$ factors through the projection to some finite product $\mathbb Z^n$. Various authors have proposed…

Suppose $G$ is a finite abelian group and $S=g_{1}\cdots g_{l}$ is a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$ and $A\subseteq\mathbb{Z}\backslash\left\{ 0\right\} $, let $N_{A,g}(S)$ denote the number of subsequences…

For the cyclic group $G=\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ and any non-empty $A\in\mathbb{Z}$. We define the Davenport constant of $G$ with weight $A$, denoted by $D_A(n)$, to be the least natural number $k$ such that for any sequence $(x_1, ...,…

The Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant of an abelian group $G$, denoted $\mathfrak{s}(G)$, is the smallest $k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that any sequence of elements of $G$ of length $k$ contains a zero-sum subsequence of length $\exp(G)$. In this…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and let $\varnothing \neq A \subset \mathbb Z$. The $A$-weighted Davenport constant of $G$ is the smallest positive integer ${\sf D}_A(G)$ such that every sequence $x_1 \boldsymbol{\cdot} {\dots}…

For $A\subseteq\mathbb Z_n$, the $A$-weighted Gao constant $E_A(n)$ is defined to be the smallest natural number $k$ such that any sequence of $k$ elements in $\mathbb Z_n$ has a subsequence of length $n$ whose $A$-weighted sum is zero.…

We provide a survey of results concerning both the direct and inverse problems to the Cauchy-Davenport theorem and Erdos-Heilbronn problem in Additive Combinatorics. We prove a slight extension to an inverse theorem of Dias da…

Let $G$ be a finite group written multiplicatively. By a sequence over $G$, we mean a finite sequence of terms from $G$ which is unordered, repetition of terms allowed, and we say that it is a product-one sequence if its terms can be…

Let $G$ be a multiplicatively written finite group. We denote by $\mathsf E(G)$ the smallest integer $t$ such that every sequence of $t$ elements in $G$ contains a product-one subsequence of length $|G|$. In 1961, Erd\H{o}s, Ginzburg and…

We call a subset $A$ of the (additive) abelian group $G$ {\it $t$-independent} if for all non-negative integers $h$ and $k$ with $h+k \leq t$, the sum of $h$ (not necessarily distinct) elements of $A$ does not equal the sum of $k$ (not…

Let $A = \{a_1, \ldots, a_k\}$ be a nonempty finite subset of an additive abelian group $G$. For a nonnegative integer $h$, the \emph{$h$-fold signed sumset} of $A$, denoted by $h_{\pm} A$, is defined by $$ h_{\pm} A = \Biggl\{\sum_{i =…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A finite collection of elements from $G$, where the order is disregarded and repetitions are allowed, is said to be a product-one sequence if its elements can be ordered such that their product in $G$ equals the…

We investigate the inverse problem consisting in the identification of constant coefficients for a fractional-in-time partial differential equation governed by a finite sum of positive self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space under…

Let $D(G)$ be the Davenport constant of a finite Abelian group $G$. For a positive integer $m$ (the case $m = 1$, is the classical one) let ${\mathsf E}_m(G)$ (or $\eta_m(G)$, respectively) be the least positive integer $t$ such that every…

Let $A$ be a finite set of $k$ integers. For $h \leq k$, the restricted $h$-fold sumset $h^{\wedge} A$ is the set of all sums of $h$ distinct elements of $A$. In additive combinatorics, much of the focus has traditionally been on finite…

Let $h\geq 2$ and $A=\{a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_{k-1}\}$ be a finite set of integers. It is well-known that $\left|hA\right|=hk-h+1$ if and only if $A$ is a $k$-term arithmetic progression. In this paper, we give some nontrivial inverse results of…

A subset $\{g_1, \ldots , g_d\}$ of a finite group $G$ is said to invariably generate $G$ if the set $\{g_1^{x_1}, \ldots, g_d^{x_d}\}$ generates $G$ for every choice of $x_i \in G$. The Chebotarev invariant $C(G)$ of $G$ is the expected…
