On $s$-additive sequences

For a non-negative integer $s$, a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers $\{a_n\}$ is called $s$-additive if for $n>2s$, $a_n$ is the least integer exceeding $a_{n-1}$ which has ...

Cardinality of $\{ n_i + i^k: i \in \mathbb{N} \} \cap [1,T]$ where $\{n_i \}$ is all natural numbers in some order

Let $n_1, n_2, ...$ be a sequence of natural numbers such that $\{n_i: i \in \mathbb{N}\}$ as a set is all of natural numbers. Let $k$ be a positive integer. Is is possible to obtain a lower bound of ...

Positive integers written as $\binom{w}2+\binom{x}4+\binom{y}6+\binom{z}8$ with $w,x,y,z\in\{2,3,\ldots\}$

Let $\mathbb N=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$. Recall that the triangular numbers are those natural numbers $$T_x=\frac {x(x+1)}2\quad \text{with}\ x\in\mathbb N.$$ As $T_x=\binom{x+1}2$, Gauss' triangular number ...

Avoiding equality of partial sums of two different aperiodic sequences

Consider two distinct sequences of positive integers, $a_{n}|_{n=1}^{\infty}$, and $b_{n}|_{n=1}^{\infty}$ such that for either sequence no period exists. The elements of both sequences are drawn from ...

Inequalities about tripling and doubling sumsets

Let $A$ be a set of vectors in $\mathbb Z^d$ who $\mathbb R$-span is the whole $\mathbb R^d$. Let $s_i(A)$ denote the size of $A+A+\dots A$ ($i$ times). I am interested in the following: Question 1:...
