Abstract
We highlight a certain compactness of Sidon sets and \(B_2[g]\)-sets and provide several applications. Notably, we prove the existence of such sets that maximize certain functions. In particular, we show the existence of a Sidon set whose reciprocal sum is equal to the distinct distance constant. We also improve the best known bounds for this constant.
期刊介绍:
Acta Mathematica Hungarica is devoted to publishing research articles of top quality in all areas of pure and applied mathematics as well as in theoretical computer science. The journal is published yearly in three volumes (two issues per volume, in total 6 issues) in both print and electronic formats. Acta Mathematica Hungarica (formerly Acta Mathematica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae) was founded in 1950 by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
