We study the maximum size of Sidon sets in unions of integers intervals. If $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$ is the union of two intervals and if $\left| A \right|=n$ (where $\left| A \right|$ denotes the cardinality of $A$), we prove that $A$…
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…
We prove that maximal cardinality of the Sidon set from $[n]$ exceeds $\sqrt{n}
Finding the maximum size of a Sidon set in $\mathbb{F}_2^t$ is of research interest for more than 40 years. In order to tackle this problem we recall a one-to-one correspondence between sum-free Sidon sets and linear codes with minimum…
We say that a set is a multiplicative 3-Sidon set if the equation $s_1s_2s_3=t_1t_2t_3$ does not have a solution consisting of distinct elements taken from this set. In this paper we show that the size of a multiplicative 3-Sidon subset of…
A set $S$ of natural numbers is multiplicative Sidon if the products of all pairs in $S$ are distinct. Erd\H{o}s in 1938 studied the maximum size of a multiplicative Sidon subset of $\{1,\ldots, n\}$, which was later determined up to the…
For positive integers $d$ and $n$, let $[n]^d$ be the set of all vectors $(a_1,a_2,\dots, a_d)$, where $a_i$ is an integer with $0\leq a_i\leq n-1$. A subset $S$ of $[n]^d$ is called a \emph{Sidon set} if all sums of two (not necessarily…
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 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 finite set $ S \subset \mathbb{R} $ is called a Sidon set if all sums $ x+y $ with $ x,y \in S $ and $ x \le y $ are distinct, and a weak Sidon set if all sums $ x+y $ with $ x,y \in S $ and $ x < y $ are distinct. For a finite set $ A…
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 $F_k(n)$…
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 obtain a new lower bound on the largest Sidon subset of an arbitrary finite set of integers. If $H(n)$ denotes the minimum, over all $n$-element subsets of $\mathbb Z$, of the largest Sidon subset they contain, we prove that $H(n)…
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 finite set $S \subset \mathbb{Z}$ is a Sidon set if its pairwise differences are distinct. Recall that a perfect difference set (PDS) of order $n$ is a set $B \subset \mathbb{Z}_v$ ($v = n^2 - n + 1$) of size $n$ such that every nonzero…
We solve an elementary extremal problem on trigonometric polynomials and obtain the exact value of the Sidon constant for sets with three elements {n0, n1, n2}: it is \sec(\pi / 2n) for n = max(n1-n0, n2-n0, n2-n1) / gcd(n1-n0, n2-n0).
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 consider the volume of the largest axis-parallel box in the $d$-dimensional torus that contains no point of a given point set $\mathcal{P}_n$ with $n$ elements. We prove that, for all natural numbers $d, n$ and every point set…
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 $[N]$…
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 \{…
