We say that A is sum-free if there is no solution of the equation x + y = z, with x, y, z belonging to the set A. Let SF(G) denotes the set of all sum-free subets of $G$ and $\\sigma(G)$ denotes the number $ n^{-1}(\\log_2 |SF(G)|) $. In this article we shall improve the error term in the asymptotic formula of $\\sigma(G)$ which was obtained recently by Ben Green and Ruzsa. The methods used are a slight refinement of methods developed by Ben Green and Ruzsa.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-07-13T07:29:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11P70" ], "keywords": [ "asymptotic formula", "sum-free sets", "ben green", "finite abelian group", "slight refinement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......7259B" } } }
