%0 Journal Article %T The multisubset sum problem for finite abelian groups %A Amela Muratovic-Ribic %A Qiang Wang %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X In this note, we give the explicit formula for the number of multisubsets of a finite abelian group $G$ with any given size such that the sum is equal to a given element $g\in G$. This also gives the number of partitions of $g$ into a given number of parts over a finite abelian group. An inclusion-exclusion formula for the number of multisubsets of a subset of $G$ with a given size and a given sum is also obtained. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.3259v1
