Abstract

The λ-dilate of a set A is λċA={λa : a∈A}. We give an asymptotically sharp lower bound on the size of sumsets of the form λ1ċA+ċċċ+λkċA for arbitrary integers λ1,. . .,λk and integer sets A. We also establish an upper bound for such sums, which is similar to, but often stronger than Plünnecke's inequality.
