The existing results are surveyed and several new results are proved for the cardinality of the restricted doubling 2^A = {a' + a'':a',a''
A,a'
a''}, where A
G is a subset of the set of elements of an (additively written) group G. In particular, known estimates for G = Z and G = Z/pZ are improved and a first-of-a-kind general estimate valid for arbitrary G is given.
