Abstract
A subset of an additive abelian group is an -Sidon set if every element in the -fold sumset has a unique representation as the sum of not necessarily distinct elements of . Let be a field of characteristic 0 with a nontrivial absolute value, and let and be subsets of . Let , where for all . The set is an -perturbation of if for all . It is proved that, for every with , every set has an -perturbation that is an -Sidon set. This result extends to sets of vectors in .
