The binary support of a positive integer n is defined as the subset S(n) of nonnegative integers consisting of the exponents in the binary expansion of n, i.e., $n=sum_{iin S(n)} 2^i$, $S(-n)=-S(n)$ and $S(0)=emptyset$. For real number x, let $A(-x,x)$ be the number of elements $ain A$ with $-xleqslant aleqslant x$. The famous Erdős-Turán Conjecture states that if A is a set of positive integers such that $r_A(n)geqslant 1$ for all sufficiently large n, then $limsup_{nrightarrowinfty}r_A(n)=infty$. In 2004, Nešetřil and Serra initially introduced the notation of “bounded” property and confirmed the Erdős-Turán conjecture for a class of bounded bases. They also proved that, there exists a set A of integers satisfying $r_A(n)=1$ for all integers n and $|S(x)bigcup S(y)|leqslant 4|S(x+y)|$ for $x,yin A$. On the other hand, Nathanson proved that there exists a set A of integers such that $r_A(n)=1$ for all integers n and $2log x/log 5+c_1leqslant A(-x,x)leqslant 2log x/log 3+c_2$ for all $xgeqslant 1$, where $c_1,c_2$ are absolute constants. In this paper, following these results, we prove that, there exists a set A of integers such that: $r_A(n)=1$ for all integers n and $d_A(n)=1$ for all positive integers n, $|S(x)bigcup S(y)|leqslant 4|S(x+y)|$ for $x,yin A$ and $A(-x,x) gt (4/log 5)loglog x+c$ for all $xgeqslant 1$, where c is an absolute constant. Furthermore, we also construct a family of arbitrarily spare such sets A.","PeriodicalId":20586,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society","volume":"66 1","pages":"832 - 844"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42559236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
