Abstract

A finite set of positive integers is called sum-free if double-struck A∩n (double-struck A + double-struck A) is empty, where double-struck A + double-struck A denotes the set of sums of pairs of non necessarily distinct elements from double-struck A. Improving upon a previous result by G.A. Freiman, a precise description of the structure of sum-free sets included in [1, M] with cardinality larger than 0.4M - x for M ≥ M0(x) (where x is an arbitrary given number) is given.
