Abstract

It is proved that for any two subsets AA and BB of an arbitrary finite field \Fq\Fq such that AB>q|A||B|>q the identity 16AB=\Fq16AB=\Fq holds. Moreover, it is established that for every subsets X,Y\FqX, Y\subset \Fq with the property XY2q|X||Y|\geqslant 2q the equality 8XY=\Fq8XY=\Fq holds.
