Abstract

In this paper, we consider some additive properties of integers with restricted digit expansions. Let b3b\geq 3 be an integer and BbB_b be the set of integers whose base bb expansions have only digits {0,1}.\{0,1\}. Let a,b,ca,b,c be three integers greater than 2.2. We give some estimates on the size of (Ba+Bb)Bc.(B_{a}+B_{b})\cap B_{c}. In particular, under mild conditions, (Ba+Bb)Bc(B_{a}+B_{b})\cap B_{c} is a very thin set in the following sense that for each ϵ>0,\epsilon>0, as N,N\to\infty, #((Ba+Bb)Bc[1,N])=O(Nϵ). \#((B_{a}+B_{b})\cap B_{c} \cap [1,N])=O(N^{\epsilon}).
