Abstract
In 1959, Freiman demonstrated his famous Theorem which was to be a cornerstone in inverse additive number theory. This result was soon followed by a Theorem, proved again by Freiman. This result describes the sets of integers such that . In the present paper, we prove a -like Theorem in the context of multiple set addition and describe, for any positive integer , the sets of integers such that the inequality holds. Freiman's Theorem is the special case of our result. This result implies, for example, the best known results on a function related to the Diophantine Frobenius number. Actually, our main theorem follows from a more general result on the border of .
