In his seminal work on Sidon sets, Pisier found an important characterization of Sidonicity: A set is Sidon if and only if it is proportionally quasi-independent. Later, it was shown that Sidon sets were proportionally `special' Sidon in…

A Sidon set $M$ is a subset of $\mathbb{F}_2^t$ such that the sum of four distinct elements of $M$ is never 0. The goal is to find Sidon sets of large size. In this note we show that the graphs of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions…

A subset $A$ of an additive abelian group is an $h$-Sidon set if every element in the $h$-fold sumset $hA$ has a unique representation as the sum of $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. Let $\mathbf{F}$ be a field of characteristic…

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…

For a subset $A \subseteq [N]$, we define the representation function $ r_{A-A}(d) := \#\{(a,a') \in A \times A : d = a - a'\}$ and define $M_D(A) := \max_{1 \leq d < D} r_{A-A}(d)$ for $D>1$. We study the smallest possible value of…

We prove that if $A=\{a_1,\dots ,a_{|A|}\}\subset \{1,2,\dots ,n\}$ is a Sidon set so that $|A|=n^{1/2}-L^\prime$, then $$a_m = m\cdot n^{1/2} + \mathcal O\left( n^{7/8}\right) + \mathcal O\left(L^{1/2}\cdot n^{3/4}\right)$$ where…

A family ${\mathcal A}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\dots, N\}$ is a Sidon system if the sumsets $A+B$, $A,B\in \mathcal{A}$ are pairwise distinct. We show that the largest cardinality $F_k(N)$ of a Sidon system of $k$-subsets of $[N]$…

We consider numbers and sizes of independent sets in graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, when the number $n$ of vertices is large. In particular we investigate which of these graphs yield the maximum numbers of independent sets of…

A set of $N$ points is chosen randomly in a $D$-dimensional volume $V=a^D$, with periodic boundary conditions. For each point $i$, its distance $d_i$ is found to its nearest neighbour. Then, the maximal value is found, $d_{max}=max(d_i,…

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…

We prove that maximal cardinality of the Sidon set from $[n]$ exceeds $\sqrt{n}

We show that with high probability a random set of size $\Theta(n^{1-1/k})$ of $\{1,...,n\}$ contains two elements $a$ and $a+d^k$, where $d$ is a positive integer. As a consequence, we prove an analogue of S\'ark\"ozy-F\"urstenberg's…

We study properties of a sequence $\Lambda$ obtained by a randomselection of integers $n$, where $n\in\Lambda$ with probability $\varpi_{n}$, independently of the other choices. We distinguish two cases : if…

For a positive integer $n$, let $g(n)$ denote the infimum of all real numbers $L$ such that there exists a multiplicative Sidon set $A\subseteq\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ that intersects every interval $[x,x+L]\subseteq[1,n]$. S\'ark\"ozy asked for…

We study the sizes of delta-additive sets of unit vectors in a d-dimensional normed space: the sum of any two vectors has norm at most delta. One-additive sets originate in finding upper bounds of vertex degrees of Steiner Minimum Trees in…

For a field $\mathbb{F}$ and integers $d$ and $k$, a set ${\cal A} \subseteq \mathbb{F}^d$ is called $k$-nearly orthogonal if its members are non-self-orthogonal and every $k+1$ vectors of ${\cal A}$ include an orthogonal pair. We prove…

The paper considers the problem of finding the largest possible set P(n), a subset of the set N of the natural numbers, with the property that a number is in P(n) if and only if it is a sum of n distinct naturals all in P(n) or none in…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

A Sidon set is a set of the positive integers such that the sums of two pairs is not repeated. I. Ruzsa gave a probabilistic construction of an infinite Sidon set. In this work we present the details of a simplified proof of this…

A symmetric subset of the reals is one that remains invariant under some reflection x --> c-x. Given 0 < x < 1, there exists a real number D(x) with the following property: if 0 < d < D(x), then every subset of [0,1] with measure x contains…
