Gaps in sumsets of $s$ pseudo s-th power sequences

Number Theory 2014-05-07 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We study the length of the gaps between consecutive members in the sumset sA when A is a pseudo s-th power sequence, with s>1. We show that, almost surely, limsup (b_{n+1}-b_{n})/log (b_n) = s^s s!/\Gamma^s(1/s), where b_n are the elements of sA.
