On sumfree subsets of hypercubes

Abstract

We consider the possible sizes of large sumfree sets contained in the discrete hypercube $\{1,...,n\}^k$, and we determine upper and lower bounds for the maximal size as $n$ becomes large. We also discuss a continuous analogue in which our lower bound remains valid and our upper bound can be strengthened, and we consider the generalization of both problems to $l$-fold-sumfree sets.
