Abstract

For positive integers dd and nn, let [n]d[n]^d be the set of all vectors (a1,a2,,ad)(a_1,a_2,\dots, a_d), where aia_i is an integer with 0ain10\leq a_i\leq n-1. A subset SS of [n]d[n]^d is called a \emph{Sidon set} if all sums of two (not necessarily distinct) vectors in SS are distinct. In this paper, we estimate two numbers related to the maximum size of Sidon sets in [n]d[n]^d. First, let Zn,d\mathcal{Z}_{n,d} be the number of all Sidon sets in [n]d[n]^d. We show that log(Zn,d)=Θ(nd/2)\log (\mathcal{Z}_{n,d})=\Theta(n^{d/2}), where the constants of Θ\Theta depend only on dd. Next, we estimate the maximum size of Sidon sets contained in a random set [n]pd[n]^d_p, where [n]pd[n]^d_p denotes a random set obtained from [n]d[n]^d by choosing each element independently with probability pp.
