Existence of sets with prescribed numbers of missing sums and differences
Existence of sets with prescribed numbers of missing sums and differences
From papers
Let and be nonnegative integers with even. Prescribed-defect existence conjecture. There exists a positive integer and a set such that , , and
This is posed as an open problem motivated by the preceding limiting-distribution conjecture. The source notes that Hegarty's methods establish it when , while the general case remains open there.
