Abstract: We discuss three convolution inequalities that are connected to additive combinatorics. Cloninger and the second author showed that for nonnegative $fin{L}^1(-1/4,1/4)$, ${\displaystyle }$ max_{-1/2 leq t leq 1/2} int_{mathbb{R}}{f(t-x) f(x) dx} geq 1.28 left( int_{-1/4}^{1/4}{f(x) dx} ight)^2${\displaystyle }$ which is related to $g-$Sidon sets (1.28 cannot be replaced by 1.52). We prove a dual statement, related to difference bases, and show that for $fin{L}^1(mathbbR)$, ${\displaystyle }$ min_{0 leq t leq 1}int_{mathbb{R}}{f(x) f(x+t) dx} leq 0.42 |f|_{L^1}^2,${\displaystyle }$ where the constant 1/2 is trivial, 0.42 cannot be replaced by 0.37. This suggests a natural conjecture about the asymptotic structure of $g-$difference bases. Finally, we show for all functions $fin{L}^1(mathbbR)cap{L}^2(mathbbR)$, ${\displaystyle }$ int_{-frac{1}{2}}^{frac{1}{2}}{ int_{mathbb{R}}{f(x) f(x+t) dx}dt} leq 0.91 |f|_{L^1}|f|_{L^2}${\displaystyle }$
