On direct and inverse problems related to some dilated sumsets
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 362 (2024), pp. 99-105.

Let A be a nonempty finite set of integers. For a real number m, the set m·A={ma:aA} denotes the set of m-dilates of A. In 2008, Bukh initiated an interesting problem of finding a lower bound for the sumset of dilated sets, i.e., a lower bound for |λ 1 ·A+λ 2 ·A++λ h ·A|, where λ 1 ,λ 2 ,,λ h are integers and A be a subset of integers. In particular, for nonempty finite subsets A and B, the problem of dilates of A and B is defined as A+k·B={a+kb:aA and bB}. In this article, we obtain the lower bound for the cardinality of A+k·B with k3 and describe sets for which equality holds. We also derive an extended inverse result with some conditions for the sumset A+3·B.
