Abstract: Let Fp be the field of a prime order p. For a subset AsubsetFp we consider the product set A(A+1). This set is an image of AimesA under the polynomial mapping f(x,y)=xy+x:FpimesFpoFp. In the present paper we show that if |A|<p1/2, then |A(A+1)|ge |A|^{106/105+o(1)}. If |A|>p2/3, then we prove that |A(A+1)|gg sqrt{p |A|} and show that this is the optimal in general settings bound up to the implied constant. We also estimate the cardinality of A(A+1) when A is a subset of real numbers. We show that in this case one has the Elekes type bound |A(A+1)|gg |A|^{5/4}.
