Let $C$ and $W$ be two sets of integers. If $C+W=\mathbb{Z}$, then $C$ is called an additive complement to $W$. We further call $C$ a minimal additive complement to $W$ if no proper subset of $C$ is an additive complement to $W$. Answering…
Let $C, W \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$. If $C + W = \mathbb{Z}$, then the set $C$ is called an additive complement to $W$ in $\mathbb{Z}$. If no proper subset of $C$ is an additive complement to $W$, then $C$ is called a minimal additive…
Given two non-empty subsets $W,W'\subseteq G$ in an arbitrary abelian group $G$, $W'$ is said to be an additive complement to $W$ if $W + W'=G$ and it is minimal if no proper subset of $W'$ is a complement to $W$. The notion was introduced…
Let $W\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ be a non-empty subset of the integers. A nonempty set $C\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ is said to be an asymptotic complement to $W$ if $W+C$ contains almost all the integers except a set of finite size. $C$ is said to be…
A subset $C$ of an abelian group $G$ is a minimal additive complement to $W \subseteq G$ if $C + W = G$ and if $C' + W \neq G$ for any proper subset $C' \subset C$. In this paper, we study which sets of integers arise as minimal additive…
A pair of non-empty subsets $(W,W')$ in an abelian group $G$ is an additive complement pair if $W+W'=G$. $W'$ is said to be minimal to $W$ if $W+(W'\setminus \{w'\}) \neq G, \forall \,w'\in W'$. In general, given an arbitrary subset in a…
Let $W,W'\subseteq G$ be nonempty subsets in an arbitrary group $G$. The set $W'$ is said to be a complement to $W$ if $WW'=G$ and it is minimal if no proper subset of $W'$ is a complement to $W$. We show that, if $W$ is finite then every…
Given a subset $W$ of an abelian group $G$, a subset $C$ is called an additive complement for $W$ if $W+C=G$; if, moreover, no proper subset of $C$ has this property, then we say that $C$ is a minimal complement for $W$. It is natural to…
We say a subset $C$ of an abelian group $G$ \textit{arises as a minimal additive complement} if there is some other subset $W$ of $G$ such that $C+W=\{c+w:c\in C,\ w\in W\}=G$ and such that there is no proper subset $C'\supset C$ such that…
The notion of minimal complements was introduced by Nathanson in 2011 as a natural group-theoretic analogue of the metric concept of nets. Given two non-empty subsets $W,W'$ in a group $G$, the set $W'$ is said to be a complement to $W$ if…
Let $A$ be a set of natural numbers. A set $B$, a set of natural numbers, is an additive complement of the set $A$ if all sufficiently large natural numbers can be represented in the form $x+y$, where $x\in A$ and $y\in B$. Erd\H{o}s…
Let $A$ be a finite multiset of integers. If $B$ be a multiset such that $A$ and $B$ are $t$-complementing multisets of integers, then $B$ is periodic. We obtain the Biro-type upper bound for the smallest such period of $B$: Let…
Let $A$ be a set of natural numbers. A set $B$, a set of natural numbers, is said to be an additive complement of the set $A$ if all sufficiently large natural numbers can be represented in the form $x+y$, where $x\in A$ and $y\in B$. This…
The notion of minimal complements was introduced by Nathanson in 2011. Since then, the existence or the inexistence of minimal complements of sets have been extensively studied. Recently, the study of inverse problems, i.e., which sets can…
Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called additive complements, if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. Let $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ be the counting functions of A and B. In this paper, we extend the results…
We say the sets of nonnegative integers A and B are additive complements if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. In this paper we prove a conjecture of Chen and Fang about additive complement of a finite set.
Two sets $A,B$ of positive integers are called \emph{exact additive complements}, if $A+B$ contains all sufficiently large integers and $A(x)B(x)/x\rightarrow1$. Let $A=\{a_1<a_2<\cdots\}$ be a set of positive integers. Denote $A(x)$ by the…
A set $\mathcal{A}\subset \mathbb{N}$ is called additively decomposable (resp. asymptotically additively decomposable) if there exist sets $\mathcal{B},\mathcal{C}\subset \mathbb{N}$ of cardinality at least two each such that…
In this paper we study substitutions on $A^\mathbb{Z}$ where $A$ is a finite alphabet. We precisely characterize the minimal components of substitution subshifts, give an optimal bound for their number and describe their dynamics. The…
We show that a set is almost periodic if and only if the associated exponential sum is concentrated in the minor arcs. Hence binary additive problems involving almost periodic sets can be solved using the circle method.
