Title Of Talk: Recent Results on Inverse Problems

URL: http://math.cofc.edu/jin/research/publication.html

Abstract: In the early 1960's G. Freiman revealed an interesting inverse phenomenon, which says that if A+A is small, then A must have some arithmetic structure. Let A be a set of natural numbers, finite or infinite. In the talk, the arithmetic structure of A or A+A is characterized when A+A is small in terms of each of the following conditions: (1) A is finite, |A| is large enough, and |A+A|=3|A|-3+b for some small non-negative integers b, (2) A is infinite, gcd(A-minA)=1, the upper asymptotic density of A is less than 0.5, and the upper asymptotic density of A+A is 1.5 times the upper asymptotic density of A, (3) A is infinite and the upper Banach density of A+A is less than 2 times the upper Banach density of A.
