A note on weak Sidon sequences

نویسنده

چکیده

A sequence (ai) of integers is weak Sidon or well-spread if the sums ai + aj , for i < j , are all different. Let f (N) denote the maximum integer n for which there exists a weak Sidon sequence 0 a1< · · ·<an N . Using an idea of Lindström [An inequality for B2-sequences, J. Combin. Theory 6 (1969) 211–212], we offer an alternate proof that f (N)<N1/2 + O(N1/4), an inequality due to Ruzsa [Solving a linear equation in a set of integers I, Acta. Arith. 65 (1993) 259–283]. The present proof improves Ruzsa’s bound by decreasing the implicit constant, essentially from 4 to √ 3. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Results on Sidon and B h Sequences

Results on Sidon and Bh Sequences Sangjune Lee A set A of non-negative integers is a Sidon set if all the sums a1 + a2, with a1 ≤ a2 and a1, a2 ∈ A, are distinct. In this dissertation, we deal with results on the number of Sidon sets in [n] = {0, 1, · · · , n − 1} and the maximum size of Sidon sets in sparse random subsets of [n] or N (the set of natural numbers). We also consider a natural gen...

Infinite Sidon sequences

We give the first explicit construction of an infinite Sidon sequence A with A(x) x for some c > 1/3. Our method allows to take c = √ 2− 1. Ruzsa proved the existence of a Sidon sequence with similar counting function but his proof was not constructive. Our method generalizes to Bh sequences when h ≥ 3. In these case our constructions are not explicit but they give the first improvements on the...

Bohr Cluster Points of Sidon Sets

If there is a Sidon subset of the integers Z which has a member of Z as a cluster point in the Bohr compactification of Z, then there is a Sidon subset of Z which is dense in the Bohr compactification. A weaker result holds for quasiindependent and dissociate subsets of Z. It is a long standing open problem whether Sidon subsets of Z can be dense in the Bohr compactification of Z ([LR]). Yitzha...

Note on regular and coregular sequences

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring and let M be a nitely generated R-module. If I is an ideal of R generated by M-regular sequence, then we study the vanishing of the rst Tor functors. Moreover, for Artinian modules and coregular sequences we examine the vanishing of the rst Ext functors.
