|(x+w)−(y+z)|≥1
for every x,y,z,w∈S with x<y≤z<w. We define strong Sidon sets as follows:</p>
For a constant α with 0≤α<1, a set S⊂N is called an α-strong Sidon set if
|(x+w)−(y+z)|≥wα
for every x,y,z,w∈S with x<y≤z<w.
The motivation of strong Sidon sets is that a strong Sidon set generates many Sidon sets by altering each element a bit. This infers that a dense strong Sidon set will guarantee a dense Sidon set contained in a sparse random subset of N.
In this talk, we are interested in how dense a strong Sidon set can be. This is joint work with Yoshiharu Kohayakawa, Carlos Gustavo Moreira and Vojtěch Rödl.
