On covering by translates of a set

In this paper we study the minimal number of translates of an arbitrary subset $S$ of a group $G$ needed to cover the group, and related notions of the efficiency of such coverings. We focus mainly on finite subsets in discrete groups, reviewing the classical results in this area, and generalizing t...
