Abstract

Let AA be a nonempty finite subset of an additive abelian group GG. Define A+A:={a+b:a,bA}A + A := \{a + b : a, b \in A\} and AA:={a+b:a,bA and ab}A \dotplus A := \{a + b : a, b \in A~\text{and}~ a \neq b\}. The set AA is called a {\em sum-dominant (SD) set} if A+A>AA|A + A| > |A - A|, and it is called a {\em restricted sum-domonant (RSD) set} if AA>AA|A \dotplus A| > |A - A|. In this paper, we prove that for infinitely many positive integers kk, there are infinitely many RSD sets of integers of cardinality kk. We also provide an explicit construction of infinite sequence of RSD sets.
