Combinatorial problems in finite fields and Sidon sets

Number Theory 2015-03-13 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

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