Abstract

Recently, using machinery's from Ergodic theory, Z. Lian, and R. Xiao proved if PP is any polynomial with no constant term, then for every finite coloring of N\mathbb{N}, there exists two infinite subsets B,CB,C of N\mathbb{N} such that the set {P(b)+P(c):bB,cC}\{P(b)+P(c):b\in B, c\in C\} is monochromatic. In this article we improve their result by proving that instead of taking such polynomials we can choose any function ff having the property that f(N)Nf(\mathbb{N})\setminus \mathbb{N} is finite. We use ultrafilter techniques to prove our result.
