Abstract

We introduce the generalized supersmall sumsets property and prove that it holds for all solvable groups. As applications, using this tool to- gether with a generalized version of Kneser’s theorem, we establish, for G Abelian, an explicit formula for the generalized µ(k) functions in terms of the cardinalities G of the finite subgroups of G and we study the ν(k) functions, which count the G minimal cardinality of a sumset containing an element with a single representa- tion.


Keywords

group, Abelian, cyclic, solvable, sumset.
