On a conjecture of Sárközy and Szemerédi

Yong-Gao Chen (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called infinite additive complements if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. In 1994, Sárközy and Szemerédi conjectured that there exist infinite additive complements A and B with lim sup A(x)B(x)/x ≤ 1 and A(x)B(x)-x = O(minA(x),B(x)), where A(x) and B(x) are the counting functions of A and B, respectively. We prove that, for infinite additive complements A and B, if lim sup A(x)B(x)/x ≤ 1, then, for any given M > 1,...

On addition of two distinct sets of integers

Vsevolod F. Lev, Pavel Y. Smeliansky (1995)

Acta Arithmetica

What is the structure of a pair of finite integers sets A,B ⊂ ℤ with the small value of |A+B|? We answer this question for addition coefficient 3. The obtained theorem sharpens the corresponding results of G. Freiman.

On additive bases II

Weidong Gao, Dongchun Han, Guoyou Qian, Yongke Qu, Hanbin Zhang (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Let G be an additive finite abelian group, and let S be a sequence over G. We say that S is regular if for every proper subgroup H ⊆ G, S contains at most |H|-1 terms from H. Let ₀(G) be the smallest integer t such that every regular sequence S over G of length |S| ≥ t forms an additive basis of G, i.e., every element of G can be expressed as the sum over a nonempty subsequence of S. The constant ₀(G) has been determined previously only for the elementary abelian groups. In this paper, we determine...

On B 2 k -sequences

Martin Helm (1993)

Acta Arithmetica

Introduction. An old conjecture of P. Erdős repeated many times with a prize offer states that the counting function A(n) of a B r -sequence A satisfies l i m i n f n ( A ( n ) / ( n 1 / r ) ) = 0 . The conjecture was proved for r=2 by P. Erdős himself (see [5]) and in the cases r=4 and r=6 by J. C. M. Nash in [4] and by Xing-De Jia in [2] respectively. A very interesting proof of the conjecture in the case of all even r=2k by Xing-De Jia is to appear in the Journal of Number Theory [3]. Here we present a different, very short proof of Erdős’...
