Abstract

top
We offer a complete answer to the following question on the growth of sumsets in commutative groups. Let h be a positive integer and A , B , . . . , B h be finite sets in a commutative group. We bound | A + B + . . . + B h | from above in terms of |A|, |A + B₁|, ..., | A + B h | and h. Extremal examples, which demonstrate that the bound is asymptotically sharp in all parameters, are furthermore provided.
