Combinatorial problems in finite fields and Sidon sets
نویسنده
چکیده
We use Sidon sets to present an elementary method to study some combinatorial problems in finite fields, such as sum product estimates, solvability of some equations and the distribution of their solutions. We obtain classic and more recent results avoiding the use of exponential sums, the usual tool to deal with these problems.

Comparisons of Sidon and I0 Sets
(1) Bd(E) and B(E) are isometrically isomorphic for finite E ⊂ Γ. Bd(E) = `∞(E) characterizes I0 sets E and B(E) = `∞(E) characterizes Sidon sets E. [In general, Sidon sets are distinct from I0 sets. Within the group of integers Z, the set {2}n ⋃ {2+n}n is helsonian (hence Sidon) but not I0.] (2) Both are Fσ in 2 (as is also the class of finite unions of I0 sets). (3) There is an analogue for I...
متن کاملOn Partitioning Sidon Sets with Quasi-independent Sets
There is a construction of random subsets of Z in which almost every subset is Sidon (this was first done by Katznelson). More is true: almost every subset is the finite union of quasi-independent sets. Also, if every Sidon subset of Z\{0} is the finite union of quasi-independent sets, then the required number of quasi-independent sets is bounded by a function of the Sidon constant. Analogs of ...
متن کاملSidon Sets in N
We study finite and infinite Sidon sets in N. The additive energy of two sets is used to obtain new upper bounds for the cardinalities of finite Sidon subsets of some sets as well as to provide short proofs of already known results. We also disprove a conjecture of Lindstrom on the largest Sidon set in [1, N ]× [1, N ] and relate it to a known conjecture of Vinogradov concerning the size of the...
متن کاملProportions of Sidon Sets Are I0 Subsets
It is proved that proportions of Sidon sets are I0 subsets of controlled degree. That is, a set E is Sidon if and only if, there are r > 0 and positive integer n such that, for every finite subset F ⊂ E, there is H ⊂ F with the cardinality of H at least r times the cardinality of F and N(H) ≤ n (N(H) is a measure of the degree of being I0). This paper leaves open David Grow’s question of whethe...
متن کاملPhase transitions in number theory: from the birthday problem to Sidon sets.
In this work, we show how number theoretical problems can be fruitfully approached with the tools of statistical physics. We focus on g-Sidon sets, which describe sequences of integers whose pairwise sums are different, and propose a random decision problem which addresses the probability of a random set of k integers to be g-Sidon. First, we provide numerical evidence showing that there is a c...
