Upper Bounds on the Cardinality of Higher Sumsets

Combinatorics 2013-09-10 v4 Number Theory

Abstract

Let A and B be finite sets in a commutative group. We bound |A+hB| in terms of |A|, |A+B| and h. We provide a submultiplicative upper bound that improves on the existing bound of Imre Ruzsa by inserting a factor that decreases with h.
