Abstract

In [On IPIP^{\star}sets and central sets, Combinatorica, 14 (1994) 269-277], N. Hindman and V.Bergelson proved additive IPIP^{\star}-sets contain finite sums and finite products of a single sequence. An analogous study was made by A. Sisto in [Exponential triples, Electronics Journal of Combinatorics, 18 (2011), no. 147], where he proved that multiplicative IPIP^{\star}-sets contain exponential IPIP of type II and finite sums of a single sequence as well as exponential IPIP of type IIII and finite products of another single sequence, using the algebra in the Stone-\v{C}ech Compactification of discrete semigroups. In this article, we will provide a combinatorial proof of the result of A. Sisto.
