Limiting proportions of sum-dominant, difference-dominant, and balanced sets
Let be any arithmetic progression with length . Define the proportions
and
Limiting-proportion conjecture. The three limiting proportions all exist and are positive.
The preceding theorem establishes positive lower bounds for the corresponding proportions for every sufficiently large , so only the existence of the limits is conjectural. The claim concerns the asymptotic distribution of the three types of subsets of an arithmetic progression.
