The postage stamp problem and arithmetic in base r

Amitabha Tripathi (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let h , k be fixed positive integers, and let A be any set of positive integers. Let h A : = { a 1 + a 2 + + a r : a i A , r h } denote the set of all integers representable as a sum of no more than h elements of A , and let n ( h , A ) denote the largest integer n such that { 1 , 2 , ... , n } h A . Let n ( h , k ) : = max A : n ( h , A ) , where the maximum is taken over all sets A with k elements. We determine n ( h , A ) when the elements of A are in geometric progression. In particular, this results in the evaluation of n ( h , 2 ) and yields surprisingly sharp lower bounds for n ( h , k ) , particularly for k = 3 .
