Sumset and Inverse Sumset Theory for Shannon Entropy
Let G = (G,+) be an additive group. The sumset theory of Plünnecke and Ruzsa gives several relations between the size of sumsets A + B of finite sets A, B, and related objects such as iterated sumsets kA and difference sets A−B, while the inverse sumset theory of Freiman, Ruzsa, and others characterises those finite sets A for which A+A is small. In this paper we establish analogous results in ...
متن کاملAn Entropy Sumset Inequality and Polynomially Fast Convergence to Shannon Capacity Over All Alphabets
We prove a lower estimate on the increase in entropy when two copies of a conditional random variable X|Y , with X supported on Zq = {0, 1, . . . , q − 1} for prime q, are summed modulo q. Specifically, given two i.i.d. copies (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) of a pair of random variables (X,Y ), with X taking values in Zq, we show H(X1 +X2 | Y1, Y2)−H(X|Y ) ≥ α(q) ·H(X|Y )(1−H(X|Y )) for some α(q) > 0, w...
متن کاملThe Sumset Phenomenon
Answering a problem posed by Keisler and Leth, we prove a theorem in nonstandard analysis to reveal a phenomenon about sumsets, which says that if two sets A and B are large in terms of \measure", then the sum A+B is not small in terms of \order{topology". The theorem has several corollaries about sumset phenomenon in the standard world; these are described in sections 2{4. One of these is a ne...
متن کاملA Sumset Problem
We study the sumset A + k ·A for the first non trivial case, k = 3, where k ·A = {k · a, a ∈ A}. We prove that |A + 3 · A| ≥ 4|A| − 4 and that the equality holds only for A = {0, 1, 3}, A = {0, 1, 4}, A = 3 ·{0, . . . , n}∪(3 ·{0, . . . , n}+1) and all the affine transforms of these sets.
متن کاملOn a Sumset Problem for Integers
Let A be a finite set of integers. We show that if k is a prime power or a product of two distinct primes then |A + k ·A| > (k + 1)|A| − dk(k + 2)/4e provided |A| > (k − 1)2k!, where A + k ·A = {a + kb : a, b ∈ A}. We also establish the inequality |A + 4 ·A| > 5|A| − 6 for |A| > 5.
