Questions on the subject additive combinatorics, also known as arithmetic combinatorics, such as questions on: additive bases, sum sets, inverse sum set theorems, sets with small doubling, Sidon sets, Szemerédi's theorem and its ramifications, Gowers uniformity norms, etc. Often combined with the top-level tags nt.number-theory or co.combinatorics. Some additional tags are available for further specialization, including the tags sumsets and sidon-sets.

Chain of sequences, such that $a_{k+1}(n)$ completes $a_k(n)$

We say that the sequence $a_{k+1}(n)$ is a complete sequence of $a_k(n)$ if: (1) Every term of $a_k(n)$ can be written as a sum of distinct terms of $a_{k+1}(n)$. (2) $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{a_k(n)}{ …

Density of all n such that 2^n-1 is square free

To my best knowledge, we don't know even if the set $S$ has an infinity of elements. In other words we don't know if there exist infinitely many squarefree numbers of the form $2^n-1$. So,i think thi …

The sum of all the elements of every non empty subset of $A$ is not a multiple of $n$

Let $N=\{1,2,\ldots ,n\},n>1$. We wish to construct a set $A\subseteq N$ with the property: The sum of all the elements of every non empty subset of $A$ is not a multiple of $n$. Question: W …

Which of these sums appear most often?

Let $N=\{1,2,3,\ldots, n\}$. We sum all the elements of every nonempty subset of $N$. Which sum(s) appears most often? (Let's call this sum a champion). Using a simple pigeonhole argument a champion m …

Reference request for a result in additive combinatorics

Let $p$ be a prime number and $[p-1]=\{1, 2, \ldots, p-1\}$. The following proposition is proved: (but I cannot find out where) Proposition: The non-empty subset sums of $[p-1]$ are equally distribut …

Avoiding multiples of $p$

Let $p$ be a prime number and $P=\{1,2,...,p-1\}$ In how many ways we can sum all the elements of $P$ in such a way that we will reach a multiple of $p$ only when we sum the last summand? For …
