Generalized H-fold sumset and Subsequence sum
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 362 (2024), pp. 1-19.

Let A and H be nonempty finite sets of integers and positive integers, respectively. The generalized H-fold sumset, denoted by H (r) A, is the union of the sumsets h (r) A for hH where, the sumset h (r) A is the set of all integers that can be represented as a sum of h elements from A with no summand in the representation appearing more than r times. In this paper, we find the optimal lower bound for the cardinality of H (r) A, i.e., for |H (r) A| and the structure of the underlying sets A and H when |H (r) A| is equal to the optimal lower bound in the cases A contains only positive integers and A contains only nonnegative integers. This generalizes recent results of Bhanja. Furthermore, with a particular set H, since H (r) A generalizes subsequence sum and hence subset sum, we get several results of subsequence sums and subset sums as special cases.
