Sep 24, 2022 at 15:38 comment added JoshuaZ @FredT S can be any set of integers, but if you have an answer for this that is for positive integers, I'd be very interested in seeing that also.
Sep 24, 2022 at 15:34 comment added Fred T @JoshuaZ and does $S$ need to be positive integers, or just any integers?

Sep 24, 2022 at 3:48 comment added Fred T @GerryMyerson yes it does, thank you for pointing this out. I guess if $S$ is a finite set then it holds, but for infinite sets it certainly does not. I will add an edit to mark this in my answer.
Sep 24, 2022 at 3:44 comment added Gerry Myerson I think the same objection applies to $y_i^2=y_i+\cdots+y_i$, doesn't it?

Fixed example for final case
Sep 24, 2022 at 3:34 comment added Fred T @GerryMyerson you are absolutely right, thank you - I will edit my answer
