The height of an algebraic number A is a measure of how arithmetically complicated A is. We say A is totally p-adic if the minimal polynomial of A splits completely over the field of p-adic numbers. In this paper, we investigate what can be said about the smallest nonzero height...
Let A and B be two subsets of the set of all non-negative
integers with 0 ε A and O ε B. The sum of the sets A and B is
the set C = A + B = {a + b: a ε A, b ε B). For n...
In 1932 A. Ya. Khinchin gave the first partial solution of the celebrated 1931 αβ Conjecture of L.G. Schnirelmann and E. Landau of the density of sums of sets on integers, which was completely proved in 1942 by H.B. Mann.
Khinchin's theorem is proved along with theorems of P. Scherk...
In this thesis, we study conditions not involving density which
guarantee that a given positive integer is contained in a sum of sets
of nonnegative integers. We survey the literature, give more detailed
proofs of some known theorems, develop some new theorems,
and make some conjectures.
Allen Freedman defined a density space to be the ordered pair
(S,𝓕) where S is a certain kind of semigroup called an s-set and 𝓕
is a special type of family of finite subsets of S called a fundamental
family on S. Several properties for density spaces are
obtained, and...
