Zero-sum problems in finite Abelian groups: a survey. (English) Zbl 1122.11013

The authors give a very useful and comprehensive survey on results and open problems in the area of combinatorial zero sum problems in finite abelian groups. They concentrate on results after the appearance of a survey article by Y. Caro, ”Zero-sum problems – a survey.” [Discrete Math. 152, No. 1–3, 93–113 (1996; Zbl 0856.05068)]. The useful bibliography contains 172 entries.
