名词 n.
  1. A subbranch of combinatorics that concerns additive problems expressed using sumsets. uncountable
    — One major area of study in additive combinatorics is that of inverse problems: for instance, given the sumset A#43;B is small in size, what can we say about the structures of A and B? In the case of integer sumsets, Freiman's theorem provides a partial answer.
