A remark on Ruzsa's construction of a Sidon set


A Sidon set is a subset of the integers with the property that the sums of every two elements are different. A trivial Sidon set is the set of powers of two, but constructing larger Sidon sets is harder. In 1998 Imre Ruzsa gave a probabilistic construction of a Sidon set with a much better counting function. In this talk I will explain Ruzsa's construction and give an alternate proof of his result based on an idea of Ruzsa and Javier Cilleruelo.
