Iterated compositions of linear operations on sets of positive upper density

Number Theory 2010-05-21 v1

Abstract

Starting from a result of Stewart, Tijdeman and Ruzsa on iterated difference sequences, we introduce the notion of iterated compositions of linear operations. We prove a general result on the stability of such compositions (with bounded coefficients) on sets of integers having a positive upper density.
