We establish two quantitative results concerning additive decompositions of the set $\mathbb{P}$ of primes. First, we prove that, if $A,B\subseteq\mathbb N$ have at least two elements and $A+B$ differs from the primes by only finitely many elements, then $$ \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\log x}\ll A(x),B(x) \ll \sqrt{x}. $$ Second,...
Let $\mathsf{d}$ be the asymptotic density on the positive integers $\mathbb{N}^+$. We provide sufficient conditions on an infinite set $B\subseteq \mathbb{N}^+$ so that for each $\alpha \in [0,1]$ there exists a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}^+$ such that $\mathsf{d}(A)=0$ and $\mathsf{d}(A+B)=\alpha$. For instance, if $(...
We show that there exists a subadditive bijection $f:(0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)$ such that $\liminf_{x\to 0}f(x)=0$ and $\limsup_{x\to 0}f(x)=1$. This answers a question by Matkowski and Swiatkowski in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 119 (1993), 187--197].
Given an ideal $\mathcal I$ on $\omega$, a subgroup $H$ of the unit circle $\mathbb T$ is said to be $\mathcal I$-characterized if there exists a sequence of integers $(a_n:n\in\omega)$ such that $$ H= \left\{ x\in\mathbb T: \mathcal I\text{-}\lim_{n\to\infty}a_nx=0 \right\}. $$ We investigate the descriptive complexit...
