On asymptotic approximate groups of integers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let r be a positive integer, and let A be a nonempty finite set of at least two integers. We let ildeCr(A) denote the {em asymptotic r-covering number} of A, that is, the smallest integer value of l for which, for all sufficiently large positive integers h, the rh-fold sumset of A is contained in at most l translates of the h-fold sumset of A. Nathanson proved that ildeCr(A) is always at most r+1; here we extend this result to prove that ildeCr(A) is always at least r, and determine all sets A for which ildeCr(A)=r.
