Abstract
For every finite Abelian group $\varGamma $ and for all $g,a_1,\ldots ,a_k\in \varGamma ,$ if there exists a solution of the equation $\sum _{i=1}^k a_ix_i = g$ in non-negative integers $x_i\le b_i,$ where $b_i$ are positive integers, then the number of such solutions is estimated from below in the best possible way.
