A Sidon set is a subset of an Abelian group with the property that each sum of two distinct elements is distinct. We construct a small maximal Sidon set of size $O((n \cdot 2^n)^{1/3})$ in the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$, generalizing a result…

A Sidon set is a set A of integers such that no integer has two essentially distinct representations as the sum of two elements of A. More generally, for every positive integer g, a B_2[g]-set is a set A of integers such that no integer has…

We present a new method to obtain infinite Sidon sequences, based on the discrete logarithm. We construct an infinite Sidon sequence A, with A(x)= x^{\sqrt 2-1+o(1)}. Ruzsa proved the existence of a Sidon sequence with similar counting…

Let $k \ge 2$ be an integer. We say a set $A$ of positive integers is an asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be represented as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is called…

Erd\"os conjectured the existence of an infinite Sidon sequence of positive integers which is also an asymptotic basis of order 3. We make progress towards this conjecture in several directions. First we prove the conjecture for all cyclic…

We give explicit constructions of sets S with the property that for each integer k, there are at most g solutions to k=s_1+s_2, s_i\in S; such sets are called Sidon sets if g=2 and generalized Sidon sets if g\ge 3. We extend to generalized…

Sidon sets are those sets such that the sums of two of its elements never coincide. They go back to the 30s when Sidon asked for the maximal size of a subset of consecutive integers with that property. This question is now answered in a…

A Sidon sequence is a sequence of integers a_1 < a_2 < a_3 < ... with the property that the sums a_i+a_j (i\le j) are distinct. This work contains a survey of Sidon sequences and their generalizations, and an extensive annotated and…

A set A of positive integers is called a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has an unique representation as the difference of two elements of A. We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence…

A subset $S$ of real numbers is called bi-Sidon if it is a Sidon set with respect to both addition and multiplication, i.e., if all pairwise sums and all pairwise products of elements of $S$ are distinct. Imre Ruzsa asked the following…

For $h \ge 2$ and an infinite set of positive integers $A$, let $R_{A,h}(n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $a_{1} + a_{2} + \dots{} + a_{h} = n, a_{1} \in A, \dots{} ,a_{h} \in A, a_{1} < a_{2} < \dots{} < a_{h}.$ In this…

A sequence $a_0<a_1<\ldots<a_n$ of nonnegative integers is called a Sidon sequence if the sums of pairs $a_i+a_j$ are all different. In this paper we construct CAT(0) groups and spaces from Sidon sequences. The arithmetic condition of Sidon…

We prove that every infinite, discrete abelian group admits a pair of $I_0$ sets whose union is not $I_0$. In particular, this implies that every such group contains a Sidon set that is not $I_{0}$.

A set A is a Sidon set in an additive group G if every element of G can be written at most one way as sum of two elements of A. A particular case of two-dimensional Sidon sets are the sonar sequences, which are two-dimensional…

A set $A$ of nonnegative integers is called a Sidon set if there is no Sidon 4-tuple, i.e., $(a,b,c,d)$ in $A$ with $a+b=c+d$ and $\{a, b\}\cap \{c, d\}=\emptyset$. Cameron and Erd\H os proposed the problem of determining the number of…

A set of integers $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an $\alpha$-strong Sidon set if the pairwise sums of its elements are far apart by a certain measure depending on $\alpha$, more specifically if $| (x+w) - (y+z) | \geq \max \{…

A Sidon set is a set of integers containing no nontrivial solutions to the equation $a+b=c+d$. We improve on the lower bound on the diameter of a Sidon set with $k$ elements: if $k$ is sufficiently large and ${\cal A}$ is a Sidon set with…

A family $\mathcal{F}\subset 2^G$ of subsets of an abelian group $G$ is a Sidon system if the sumsets $A+B$ with $A,B\in \mathcal{F}$ are pairwise distinct. Cilleruelo, Serra and the author previously proved that the maximum size $F_k(n)$…

A set $S\subset\{1,2,...,n\}$ is called a Sidon set if all the sums $a+b~~(a,b\in S)$ are different. Let $S_n$ be the largest cardinality of the Sidon sets in $\{1,2,...,n\}$. In a former article, the author proved the following asymptotic…

A set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ is a Sidon set if all pairwise sums $s_1+s_2$ (for $s_1, s_2\in S$, $s_1\leq s_2$) are distinct. A set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ is an asymptotic basis of order 3 if every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be…
