Inverse problems for sumset sizes of finite sets of integers

Abstract

Let AA be a finite set of integers and let hAhA be its hh-fold sumset. This paper investigates the sequence of sumset sizes (hA)h=1( |hA| )_{h=1}^{\infty}, the relations between these sequences for affinely inequivalent sets AA and BB, and the comparative growth rates and configurations of the sumset size sequences (hA)h=1( |hA| )_{h=1}^{\infty} and (hA)h=1( |hA| )_{h=1}^{\infty}.
