| Details: | Consider a finite abelian group G (written additively). A sequence S = g1. . . .gl over G is called a zero-sum sequence if g1 +· · ·+gl = 0, where 0 is the identity element of the group. Inspired by a well known result of Erd ̋os, Ginzburg and Ziv, the area of zero-sum theorems in combinatorial number theory has seen a rapid growth in recent years. The area of zero-sum theorems has many interesting results and several unanswered questions. Several authors have introduced inter- esting elementary algebraic techniques to deal with these problems. We describe some applications of results in set additions in classical as well as weighted generalizations in the area of Zero-sum Combinatorics. |
