Additive sumset sizes with tetrahedral differences
Abstract
Experimental calculations suggest that the h-fold sumset sizes of 4-element sets of integers are concentrated at h numbers that are differences of tetrahedral numbers. In this paper it is proved that these "popular" sumset sizes always exist. Explicit h-adically defined sets are constructed for each of these numbers.
