Sidon set


A set of natural numbers is called a Sidon set if allpairwise sums of its elements are distinct. Equivalently, the equationa+b=c+d has only the trivial solution {a,b}={c,d} inelements of the set.

Sidon sets are a special case of so-called Bh[g] sets. A set Ais called a Bh[g] set if for every n the equationn=a1++ah has at most g different solutions witha1ah being elements of A. The Sidon sets areB2[1] sets.

Define Fh(n,g) as the size of the largest Bh[g] setcontained in the interval [1,n]. Whereas it is known thatF2(n,1)=n1/2+O(n5/16)[3, p. 85],no asymptotical results are known for g>1 or h>2[2].

Every finite setMathworldPlanetmath has a rather large Bh[1] subset. Komlós,Sulyok, andSzemerédi[4] provedthat in every n-element set there is a Bh[1] subset of size atleast cFh(n,1) for c=18(2h)-6. For Sidon setsAbbott[1] improved that to c=2/25.It is not known whether one can take c=1.

The infiniteMathworldPlanetmath Bh[g] sets are understood even worse. Erdős[3, p. 89] proved that for everyinfinite Sidon set A we have lim infn(n/logn)-1/2|A[1,n]|<C for some constant C. On the otherhand, for a long time no example of a set for which |A[1,n]|>n1/3+ϵ for some ϵ>0 was known. Onlyrecently Ruzsa[6] used an extremelyclever construction to prove the existence of a set A for which|A[1,n]|>n2-1-ϵ for everyϵ>0 and for all sufficiently large n.

For an excellent survey of Sidon sets see[5].
