Abstract

We show conditions on kk such that any number xx in the interval [0,k/2][0, k/2] can be represented in the form x1a1x2a2+x3a3x4a4++xk1ak1xkakx_1^{a_1} x_2^{a_2} + x_3^{a_3} x_4^{a_4} + \cdots + x_{k-1}^{a_{k-1}} x_k^{a_k}, where the exponents a2i1a_{2i-1} and a2ia_{2i} are positive integers satisfying a2i1+a2i=sa_{2i-1} + a_{2i} = s for i=1,2,,k/2i = 1, 2, \dots, k/2, and each xix_i belongs to the generalized Cantor set. Moreover, we discuss different types of non-diagonal polynomials and clarify the optimal results in low-dimensional cases.
