Résumé

Let $𝒜$ be a sequence of $r k$ terms which is made up of $k$ distinct integers each appearing exactly $r$ times in $𝒜$ . The sum of all terms of a subsequence of $𝒜$ is called a subsequence sum of $𝒜$ . For a nonnegative integer $α \leq r k$ , let $Σ_{α} (𝒜)$ be the set of all subsequence sums of $𝒜$ that correspond to the subsequences of length $α$ or more. When $r = 1$ , we call the subsequence sums as subset sums and we write $Σ_{α} (A)$ for $Σ_{α} (𝒜)$ . In this article, using some simple combinatorial arguments, we establish optimal lower bounds for the size of $Σ_{α} (A)$ and $Σ_{α} (𝒜)$ . As special cases, we also obtain some already known results in this study.
