On the Elementary Proof of the Inverse Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn Problem

Abstract

In this article, we studied the inverse Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn problem with the restricted sumset from two components AA and BB that are not necessarily the same. We give a completely elementary proof for the problem in Z\mathbb{Z} and some partial results that contributes to the elementary proof of the problem in Z/pZ\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}, avoiding the usage of the powerful polynomial method and the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz.
