Abstract

Let X and Y be nonempty finite subsets of Z and X+Y its sumset. The structures of X and Y when r(X, Y ) := |X +Y |−|X|−|Y | is small have been widely studied; in particular the Generalized Freiman’s 3k − 4 Theorem describes X and Y when r(X, Y ) ≤ min{|X|, |Y |} − 4. However, not too much is known about X and Y when r(X, Y ) > min{|X|, |Y |} − 4. In this paper we study the structure of X and Y for arbitrary r(X, Y ).


Keywords

Freiman’s 3k − 4 Theorem, sumset, Lev-Smeliansky Theorem.
