Problems in additive number theory related to sum and difference sets, more general binary linear forms, and representation functions of additive bases for the integers and nonnegative integers.

A set $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be an additive $h$-basis if each element in $\{0,1,\ldots,hn\}$ can be written as an $h$-sum of elements of $\mathcal{A}$ in {\it at least} one way. We seek multiple representations as $h$-sums, and, in this…

A set A of positive integers is called a h-bais of [0,n] if each integer in [0,n]is a sum of no more than h members of A. In this paper, we will give a new construction for h-basis.

Let A be a set of nonnegative integers. For every nonnegative integer n and positive integer h, let r_{A}(n,h) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_h, where a_1, a_2,..., a_h are elements of A and…

It is an open problem in additive number theory to compute and understand the full range of sumset sizes of finite sets of integers, that is, the set $\mathcal{R}_{\mathbf{Z}}(h,k)= \{|hA|:A \subseteq {\mathbf{Z}} \text{ and } |A|=k\}$ for…

The set A = {a_n} of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order h if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of h elements of A. If a_n ~ alpha n^h for some real number alpha > 0, then alpha is called an…

We reduce the principal problem of Additive Number Theory of whether an infinite sequence of integers constitutes a finite basis for the integers to a Diophantine problem involving the difference set of the sequence, by proving a formula…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite set of integers, and let $h\mathcal{A}$ denote the $h$-fold sumset of $\mathcal{A}$. Let $(h\mathcal{A})^{(t)}$ be subset of $h\mathcal{A}$ consisting of all integers that have at least $t$ representations as a…

The aim of this article is to present a topological tool for the study of additive basis in additive number theory. It will be proposal a metric for the set of all additive basis, in which it will be possible to study properties of some…

We characterize those $k$-automatic sets $S$ of natural numbers that form an additive basis for the natural numbers, and we show that this characterization is effective. In addition, we give an algorithm to determine the smallest $j$ such…

The study of sums of finite sets of integers has mostly concentrated on sets with small sumsets (Freiman's theorem and related work) and on sets with large sumsets (Sidon sets and $B_h$-sets). This paper considers the sets ${\mathcal…

Building on previous work by Lambert, Plagne and the third author, we study various aspects of the behavior of additive bases in infinite abelian groups and semigroups. We show that, for every infinite abelian group $T$, the number of…

The set A of nonnegative integers is called a basis of order h if every nonnegative integer can be represented as the sum of exactly h not necessarily distinct elements of A. An additive basis A of order h is called thin if there exists c >…

Let $A$ be a finite set of $k$ integers. For $h \leq k$, the restricted $h$-fold sumset $h^{\wedge} A$ is the set of all sums of $h$ distinct elements of $A$. In additive combinatorics, much of the focus has traditionally been on finite…

For every positive integer h, the representation function of order h associated to a subset A of the integers or, more generally, of any group or semigroup X, counts the number of ways an element of X can be written as the sum (or product,…

A set of non-negative integers A is an additive 2-basis with range n, if its sumset A+A contains 0, 1, ..., n but not n+1. Explicit bases are known with arbitrarily large size |A|=k and $n/k^2 \ge 2/7 > 0.2857$. We present a more general…

Let $g \geq 2$ be an integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$g$ Niven number if it is divisible by the sum of its base-$g$ digits. Assuming Hooley's Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that the set of base-$g$ Niven numbers is an additive…

A set $A$ of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order $h$ if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $h$ integers (not necessarily distinct) of $A$. An asymptotic basis $A$ of order $h$ is minimal if no…

A set $A$ of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order $h$ if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. The asymptotic basis $A$ is minimal if removing any…

Let A be an asymptotic basis for N_0 of some order. By an essentiality of A one means a subset P such that A\P is no longer an asymptotic basis of any order and such that P is minimal among all subsets of A with this property. A finite…
