Description
Summary:In this paper, we discuss some of the key properties of sum-free subsets of abelian groups. Our discussion has been designed with a broader readership in mind and is hence not overly technical. We consider answers to questions like the following: How many sum-free subsets are there in a given abelian group <i>G</i>? What are its sum-free subsets of maximum cardinality? What is the maximum cardinality of these sum-free subsets? What does a typical sum-free subset of <i>G</i> look like?
