We present a simple and general algebraic technique for obtaining results in Additive Number Theory, and apply it to derive various new extensions of the Cauchy Davenport Theorem. In particular we obtain, for subsets A 0 , A 1 , ..., A k of the finite field Z p , a tight lower bound on the minimum p

The problem of estimating M , the number of classes in a population, is formulated as an occupancy problem in which N items are drawn from M urns. Under the assumption of a uniform distribution for the number of classes in the population, the sufficient statistic for M, which is the number of distin
Canonical number systems are the natural generalization of q-adic number systems to number fields. Such number systems admit a certain representation of each algebraic integer of a given number field with respect to the powers of a given base number b. The aim of this paper is to study the sum of di
