For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ and real $\lambda$, let $A+\lambda A:=\{a+\lambda b :\, a,b\in A\}$. Combining a structural theorem of Freiman on sets with small doubling constants together with a discrete analogue of…

We prove a continuous Freiman's $3k-4$ theorem for small sumsets in $\mathbb{R}$ by using some ideas from Ruzsa's work on measure of sumsets in $\mathbb{R}$ as well as some graphic representation of density functions of sets. We thereby get…

New lower bounds involving sum, difference, product, and ratio sets for a set $A\subset \C$ are given. The estimates involving the sum set match, up to constants, the one obtained by Solymosi for the reals and are obtained by generalising…

In this paper, we consider the sum-product problem of obtaining lower bounds for the size of the set $$\frac{A+A}{A+A}:=\left \{ \frac{a+b}{c+d} : a,b,c,d \in A, c+d \neq 0 \right\},$$ for an arbitrary finite set $A$ of real numbers. The…

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.

In this paper we prove that every set $A\subset\mathbb{Z}$ satisfying the inequality $\sum_{x}\min(1_A*1_A(x),t)\le(2+\delta)t|A|$ for $t$ and $\delta$ in suitable ranges, then $A$ must be very close to an arithmetic progression. We use…

We show that, for a finite set $A$ of real numbers, the size of the set $$\frac{A+A}{A+A} = \left\{ \frac{a+b}{c+d} : a,b,c,d \in A, c+d \neq 0 \right \}$$ is bounded from below by $$\left|\frac{A+A}{A+A} \right| \gg \frac{|A|^{2+1/4}}{|A /…

Ruzsa's inequality states that $|A+A+A| \leq |A+A|^{3/2}$ for any finite set $A$ in a commutative group. Ruzsa has constructed examples showing that this inequality is sharp asymptotically, up to a constant factor. We prove an inverse…

Given two subsets $A, B \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p$ and a binary relation $\mathcal{R} \subseteq A \times B$, the restricted sumset of $A, B$ with respect to $\mathcal{R}$ is defined as $A +_{\mathcal{R}} B = \{ a+b \colon (a,b) \notin…

One classical result of Freimann gives the optimal lower bound for the cardinality of A+A if A is a d-dimensional finite set in the Euclidean d-space. Matolcsi and Ruzsa have recently generalized this lower bound to |A+kB| if B is…

In this paper we start to investigate a new body of questions in additive combinatorics. The fundamental Cauchy--Davenport theorem gives a lower bound on the size of a sumset A+B for subsets of the cyclic group Zp of order p (p prime), and…

Let A be a finite nonempty subset of an additive abelian group G, and let \Sigma(A) denote the set of all group elements representable as a sum of some subset of A. We prove that |\Sigma(A)| >= |H| + 1/64 |A H|^2 where H is the stabilizer…

The sumset and inverse sumset theories of Freiman, Pl\"{u}nnecke and Ruzsa, give bounds connecting the cardinality of the sumset $A+B=\{a+b\;;\;a\in A,\,b\in B\}$ of two discrete sets $A,B$, to the cardinalities (or the finer structure) of…

Let $G = (G,+)$ be an additive group. The sumset theory of Pl\"unnecke and Ruzsa gives several relations between the size of sumsets $A+B$ of finite sets $A, B$, and related objects such as iterated sumsets $kA$ and difference sets $A-B$,…

We show that the Freiman--Ruzsa theorem, characterising finite sets with bounded doubling, leads to an alternative proof of a characterisation of Meyer sets, that is, relatively dense subsets of Euclidean spaces whose difference sets are…

We give a new proof of the discretized ring theorem for sets of real numbers. As a special case, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ is a $(\delta,1/2)_1$-set in the sense of Katz and Tao, then either $A+A$ or $A.A$ must have measure at…

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

An explicit subconvex bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$ is proved. Previous subconvex bounds relied on an incorrect version of the Kusmin-Landau lemma. After accounting for the needed correction…

Let $A$ and $B$ be finite subsets of $\mathbb{C}$ such that $|B|=C|A|$. We show the following variant of the sum product phenomenon: If $|AB|<\alpha|A|$ and $\alpha \ll \log |A|$, then $|kA+lB|\gg |A|^k|B|^l$. This is an application of a…

The lambda-dilate of a set A is lambda*A={lambda a : a \in A}. We give an asymptotically sharp lower bound on the size of sumsets of the form lambda_1*A+...+lambda_k*A for arbitrary integers lambda_1,...,lambda_k and integer sets A. We also…
