Unique difference bases of \(\mathbb Z\)
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 14 (2011) no. 1
For $ n\in \mathbb{Z}, A\subset \mathbb{Z}$, let $ \delta_{A}(n)$ denote the number of representations of $ n$ in the form $ n=a-a'$, where $ a,a'\in A$. A set $ A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is called a unique difference basis of $ \mathbb{Z}$ if $ \delta_{A}(n)=1$ for all $ n\neq 0$ in $ \mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we prove that there exists a unique difference basis of $ \mathbb{Z}$ whose growth is logarithmic. These results show that the analogue of the Erdos-Turán conjecture fails to hold in $ (\mathbb{Z},-)$.
