Factoring an odd abelian group by lacunary cyclic subsets

Sándor Szabó (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Similarity:

It is a known result that if a finite abelian group of odd order is a direct product of lacunary cyclic subsets, then at least one of the factors must be a subgroup. The paper gives an elementary proof that does not rely on characters.

Sum-dominant sets and restricted-sum-dominant sets in finite abelian groups

David B. Penman, Matthew D. Wells (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We call a subset A of an abelian group G sum-dominant when |A+A| > |A-A|. If |A⨣A| > |A-A|, where A⨣A comprises the sums of distinct elements of A, we say A is restricted-sum-dominant. In this paper we classify the finite abelian groups according to whether or not they contain sum-dominant sets (respectively restricted-sum-dominant sets). We also consider how much larger the sumset can be than the difference set in this context. Finally, generalising work of Zhao, we provide asymptotic...
