Balog–Roche-Newton–Zhelezov growth conjecture for difference sets

About 9 years old · traced to

Let AA be a set of scalars with at least three elements, and put D=A−AD=A-A. For a positive integer mm, write DmD^m for the mm-fold product set of DD. Balog–Roche-Newton–Zhelezov growth conjecture. For every positive integer nn, there is a universally and polynomially related positive integer mm such that

∣Dm∣≥∣D∣n.|D^m|\geq |D|^n.

This question was raised by Balog, Roche-Newton and Zhelezov in connection with multiplicative growth of difference sets. The source presents it as an open question and does not state a resolution.
