On strongly sum-free subsets of abelian groups

Tomasz ŁuczakTomasz Schoen — 1996

Colloquium Mathematicae

In his book on unsolved problems in number theory [1] R. K. Guy asks whether for every natural l there exists n 0 = n 0 ( l ) with the following property: for every n n 0 and any n elements a 1 , . . . , a n of a group such that the product of any two of them is different from the unit element of the group, there exist l of the a i such that a i j a i k a m for 1 j < k l and 1 m n . In this note we answer this question in the affirmative in the first non-trivial case when l=3 and the group is abelian, proving the following result.
