We provide asymptotics for the number of MSTD sets in finite abelian groups, extending previous results of Nathanson. The proof contains an application of a recently resolved conjecture of Alon and Kahn on the number of independent sets in a regular graph.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-08-08T19:15:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11P99", "05C69" ], "keywords": [ "finite abelian groups", "counting mstd sets", "independent sets", "proof contains", "regular graph" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.2288Z" } } }
